If taruntalas climbing all over your bananas weren't bad enough, now the grapes are biting back too!

Oddly, the appearance of black widow spiders in imported grapes seems to be linked to an effort to reduce the use of pesticides in the vineyards... there's a moral there somewhere, but I don't know what it is.

Bunch of pansies you all are

One little black widow in your banana bunch and its a national crisis.
I have whole colonies in my garden, in the brickwork and paving and no bites so far, apparently not so fatal, just hurts like hell.
Black Widows and Brown Recluses are family but BW are way meaner looking , all sharp angles and vicious expressions.

Anyone know how to get rid of them?

oooh, never thought about that one. I can use all those old cans of deo spray that smell like toilet freshner, hell I can even use toilet freshner.

Um only one thing, wouldn't it be bad karma to incinerate the poor mommy spider and all her spiderlings?

PS: Hows the quitting coming on Adrian?
