man. my friend lives in aplace with tons of black widows in front of his place. i tried the break cleaner stuff and i thought they were dead. few min later they were gone. so it doesnt kill them. they imune to alot of stuff.

black widows dont kill you unless you are really sick. it kills alot of old people tho because they are prolly weak. and small children..

anyways has anyone tried flower?? the cooking powder flower. that stuff is flamable. just go to the fireplace or somewhere with fire that is protected. grab a handful of flower. and blow it into the fire. its great science teacher showed us this in class hehe.

Pretty much, but some of those who can't handle the pain DO in fact die. I'm no pussy, I have a high pain tolerance, but I've never been bitten by one, so I can't say for sure how I'd react to it.

It wiggled for a while after drenching it in the cleaner, but I kept spraying it, until I just sprayed once and it flew off its web onto the driveway. I doused it a little more and then I saw its legs curl up, the telltale sign of a dead spider. Then some ants came later and drug it away.

For healthy adults it can still be fatal too. They're kinda like bees in that respect, some people have severe alergic reactions to them and die. The difference being that most people aren't going to know if they're alergic to Black Widows and won't have a hypo kit for 'em so they're screwed if they get bit.

hooo boy I have some good memories with explosives and fire...

About 3 years ago my friend had a problem in his front yard with a bees nest that had been made in the ground. Of course he invited me over and we proceeded to use spray primer and a lighter to actually burn bees out of the air as they flew at us. It was absolutely insane, they literally crashed and burned. After that we filled the hole with gasoline and used a flaming remote control car to ignite it. All I have to say about that is that the car isn't around anymore.

Then there was the time that we made a trail of gasoline all the way across the street (we must have used about 2 gallons) and lit one end, making a 2 foot tall wall of flame across the entire road. That was fun too...

man, adolescence was fun...
