Here's a handy mnemonic that applies to such a situation. When in doubt, buckshot will work it out. There are few problems that can't be settled by the proper application of enough buckshot but, in this case, I think that the, "Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice," rule is also in effect.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 I've actually handled the garden orb-weaving spiders with my bare hands before. They look scary but are actually quite docile. The huntsman on the other hand, I don't care if it's considered a "low risk" spider. It's a high risk of giving me a heart attack! Those things are often as large as a dinner plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Major, I have spider repellent for spiders I might encounter that are that big. It smells a lot like urine...kind of looks like it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
