I love them too but I have a 12lb doggo and a widow came in my side door the other day and I killed it without question and for better or worse went nuclear with the bug spray.
Generally I like bugs and I have a bug net so I can catch and release instead of killing.
But when it comes to the safety of my pup I will not think twice.
I completely understand. I don’t get too many widows, but I try to relocate them instead of going scorched earth on them. They’re fairly slow and easy to catch. Those recluses are quick as fuck and, well, usually not as fast as a shoe or flyswatter.
