Black widows everywhere!!!

I have spiders all around my house also. We have had people come and spray the house more times than I can count. But, since I live close to a river. It doesnt help. We have a Black Widow show up every now and then. But, We have Wolf spiders everywhere. I had a big one that lived in my garage one summer. I had a picture of it on my old phone where it was sitting next to a DQ Blizzard spoon. It was over half the length of the spoon. I would see it about everyday, on the Toolbox, on the steps or running across the floor.
Never saw that one after that summer. I do see others all the time though.
 
A buddy of mind had this problem. He solved it easily but it caused another infestation. He used to see about 10-20 widows... A DAY. He would go around our unit and catch all the eaters alive and then just release them around his house. A few weeks later he counted about half... later on even less until now, seriously, he hasn't seen a widow in about 5 months.

The eater?

Black widows are eaten by Grand Daddy Long Leg spiders. Those spiders are even MORE poisonous than the widow but because their mouths are so small they can't bite us. Catch a handful of them and put them in/around the car and wait a week or so.

Good luck. Let us know how you fix this.
 
If the daddy long legs, can't harm us how are they going to kill a gang of black widows? I'm not doubting you, just interested in how they go about doing this.

Yeah because a great way to get rid of spiders is to release more spiders in the house. Brilliant. If it's one thing I hate more than spiders, it's spiders with ridiculously long legs. Just kill it with fire.
 
ok guys, after work today i called the towing and they put my car at the storage, i will probably be calling the exterminator since i didnt find any sprays that are effective. Here is some pics tho of me burning them
:hellyeah:

give me a second, i dont know computers that well so i have to figure out how to put the pictured in.

They are super poisonous but their mouths are too small to bite into human skin. I think they are also immune to the black widow poison .
 
here are the pics. i used brake cleaner and a lighter. WD wasnt that good

^Oh that reminds me of when I was 16 and working in the meat department at local market. I went into the freezer to grab boxes full of breaded chicken strips and when I walked in I thought I felt something on my neck. But figured it was nothing. While grabbing boxes I felt it again and decided not to move to see if something was actually on me. Then it started to move and I threw my hand up as fast as I could grabbed something off my neck and threw it on the ground. Ended up being some huge ass spider almost the size of my palm...in a freezer. I ####ing ran out and quit that job. ( wasn't the only reason I quit but it helped coax me)
 
It looks like the widow couldn't get close enough to the daddy/cellar spider.
