Laser blind? (Spiders!)

[tsteele93]

A high power blue will take them out. I got one with a 1.4W 445 the other day. He was fast, but I finally got him with a nice dot and he sizzled. I HATE spiders. Wearing the safety goggles helps with making the dot nice and tight as well as protecting your eyes.

BUT, a couple of warnings.

1. Spiders stink when they burn.
2. If they are above you, don't shoot them - they will drop on you.
3. Use a boot or magazine if possible, a laser isn't a great way to kill them unless they are in a spot you can't reach.
4. Don't burn your carpet or furniture and don't forget about any pets that are in the room and don't have googles.

:beer:

That last one was in the shower and I had no clothes on and nothing close, except for my 1.5 w 445, so it fried! I just posted the last pics to see if anybody knew what kind of spider it was.

There has been a roach laying eggs in the bathroom at my work for 2 days now. its up too high to get. Used my 1.3W laser to fry all the eggs and get the nasty bug down.

Don't like roaches either, oops I mean cock roaches.
Got very many scorpions in Texas?

 

[TacoHerder]

Im sure there are in some areas, but here in Garland i have never seen one. My fiance has been coming across a lot of wolf spiders here lately at her work. They are in shipping boxes and in between racks of cloths. Not a big deal to most, but she is REALLY allergic to insects, metal, MSG, and styro-foam. Yup i said metal... All her jewelry is gold or platinum, or high grade surgical steel. Heck she gets a mosquito bite and she gets a huge hive.

I used to live in Northern Nevada and we had a problem with scorpions and black widows. We have black widows here just not as big.

As for my part of texas -

i have seen more and more insects and arachnids of all varieties lately.

especially moths, and these evil beetle things mentioned earlier. I usually only see a scorpion around here once or twice a year tops. saw exactly 0 last year.

so far this year? at least 15 since that last strong rain we got.

this is in the Bexar / Comal county area

That was an epic song. Definitely going to have to check more of their stuff out.

IMO this is their best album.

Disintegration (The Cure album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has most of their hits.

How often does that happen?

 

[00Giorge]

I shower everyday with no clothes, the laser just happened to be in the bathroom. Why you ask, because I had to go pee when I was using it and just happen to leave it on the counter, would you like a video of me taking a shower? :crackup:

I used to find a lot of black widows and brown recluses where I used to live. (Visalia, CA) I am very happy I moved.

Re: Laser blind?

I found a spider in my shower and wondered if anybody has seen one of these, they are very aggressive and will bite a coat hanger. I know that from experience, this is the second one of these and they are quite big.

Sorry for the crappy pictures I took these with my phone.

Ground Spiders - Gnaphosidae - in Salt Lake City, Utah

These look like the one in your pic....

Brake cleaner FTW.... contact cleaner (TV tuner spray) works in a pinch (panic)

 

[00Giorge]

That's close but these have bigger fangs and a white ass.

Got it Dysdera crocata spider - pillbug killer Thanks Lonewolf
