I was letting the dogs out, when I happened to glance down at the arm of a patio chair. There I saw an outline of a medium sized spider. Hmmm, I thought, that spider has a huge abdomen like a black widow. I used the flashlight on my phone to inspect. Sure enough, I had a Black Widow that made its nest inside/underneath the arm of one of my patio chairs. I yelled for my boy to get bug spray, and prayed to Jesus for strength. A half can of bug spray later and a good pulverizing by my shoe, and the killer was dead.
Tonight I praise Jesus for allowing me to find it, and having enough bravery to face it. Anyone of us could have sat in that chair like we do everyday, and not even known what hit us.

@mgw300e:
 
I came inside and was so shaken that I dropped to the floor and starting crying and thanking God that none of us got bitten. It was right where you put your hand on the armrest only underneath in that space. I am going to spray the crap out of the house and yard tomorrow. 4951

@BooBear:
Dude! It was living in my patio furniture! I threw the whole chair out on the curb in a trash bag, lol. First car spiders now this. Maybe my avatar is attracting them.

Lol, if that thing were to jump on the gun, I'd drop it, run and hit the nearest bar. 4951

I wanted to! That sicker was big, even by black widow standards. It's the third one I've killed since `99. My friend that worked at a daycare was fixing a boy's shoe for him a few years back, and when she took it off his foot a BW crawled out. Yikes! 4951

I would tell you a story about Michaels grandmother and an unwanted visitor to her front yard but it would probably offend practically everyone on here. 4951

That would have been my approach. Sometimes whips just aren't enough.

@WskyTngoFxtrt:
Its the kind of story that only someone that was either raised or spent a long time in the country would find any humor at all in. And topcat.
