There is a spider living on my porch, is it poisonous?
Answers:
Could it be a Black Widow?
Black widows are poisonous. They will bite if provoked. The bite feels like a sharp pain ,like a needle puncture. After 15 minutes to an hour there will be muscular cramps. Bites are rarely fatal, but you should seek medical attention.
Does it look like that? Does anyone know hot to dry sunflowers?

If it does serve it an eviction notice <br />
<br />
and do it <br />
<br />
with extreme prejudice.<br />
<br />
1. Recommended products for spiders are DEMON WP, or CYNOFF WP sprayed around all entry points like doors and windows, sprayed along baseboards, in the basements and garages, and sprayed in the upper corners where they may web.<br />
<br />
2. Also recommended is an aerosol such as D-Force HPX with a crack and crevice tip , applied along baseboards, to window and door frames, corners, pipes and other areas where spiders may crawl. <!--a1--><!--a2-->

Try this website for further research: <!--n--><hr>call up the local SPCA and get them over their if its a black widow i wouldnt go anywhere near it <!--n--><hr>LMAO! some of these answers are hilarious. yes dude- please get rid of the spider. you don't have to kill it, but please get it away from your home. <!--n--><hr>no, unless it bites you. <!--n--><hr>HEY THE INTERNET HAS ALL YOUR ANSWERS FOR ANIMALS AND INSECTS LOOK IT UP!! <!--n--><hr>you need to have your house exterminated ASAP! <!--n--><hr>Very carefully trap it in a glass jar and twist on the lid very tightly.There,spider problem solved. <!--n--><hr>Okay, I went through a LOT of "heebie-jeebies" to get you this site, so I hope it helps some. If not, just search the term "spiders" or "spider species" until you find your culprit. Either way, you'd be better off squashing his will to live. <!--n--><hr>If it has a red dot, I'd be suspicious. If it has what they call a red hourglass type of marking,<br />
than it's probably a black widow spider which can be dangerous. You can get very sick if you are bitten and/or allergic to the venom. Adults<br />
and chidren can get sick, little children can die!<br />
There is an anti-venom at the hospital. I would show it to several adults and get their opinion. The color red is the international signal for "don't touch me, I'm dangerous and I could kill you and eat you! Some species like butterflies have evolved to have red marks, so that birds of prey will leave them alone. The coral snake is red, yellow and black. If the red and yellow are touching, it can kill you. If the red and black are touching it's a non-lethal snake imitated a coral snake. Even though it is harmless, all creatures will stay away from it, because they see the red. If your spider just has a red dot, nature has done that on purpose, so preditors will think it's a black widow and they will leave it alone. Get a book about spiders from your library and get a picture of the black widow. Hourglass=yes,<br />
red dot=no. I'd stay away from it, until I was sure. Always remember, if you see one spider,<br />
there are sure to be other similiar ones around<br />
also! if you want to be a "meany", just squash it.<br />
If you're positive it's ok, leave it alone. God made all creatures "big and small" for a reason! <!--n--><hr>Yes it is....it's a Black Widow ! A Female one <!--n--><hr>It sounds like a black widow, you should kill it it's not a fun one. <!-- answer-end --><li><a href=){kind=link}
