northshorepom Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 If you don't want to kill it then I'd just get a pot and pop it in that and put a lid on it. Then go somewhere else out the way and let her go in her new home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight7 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Get that spider spray stuff and kill it. You wouldn't want a young child to be bitten. Spider bites can be pretty nasty and a red back can be fatal to a child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove it humanely if you want. Red backs aren't that quick and don't jump. Ice cream container or hand vac should do it. Although I'd just kill it, because where do you let it go? Never try this with a funnel web too, they are aggressive little buggers. Then spray the area with a deterrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They unusual make formless messy webs underneath furniture and in nooks and crannies...not usually large proper webs across open spaces ?

roborac Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 We have been here 34 years and have never heard of any one being killed by a red back spider or a white tail , but no doubt someone will correct us We have never used sprays etc for years now and don,t mind spiders being around the house EXCEPT in the bedroom ,when you could be sleeping mouth wide opened So its the glass over them then slide a piece of card over the mouth of the glass and take them into the garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roborac Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Yes just had a re think , we would remove a red back if it was in the house , but have seen lots in our outside property and even think years ago i was bitten by a nasty specious when gardening without gloves, just sore hand etc but lived to tell the tale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABG Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'd kill poisonous ones and relocate the not so dangerous ones - purely as I don't want to tempt fate a relocate a poisonous one. The one good thing about spiders is they'll help with the flies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I saw a bite on a 11 year old boy, not only did it look disgusting he was in a lot of discomfort whilst it was being treated. I wouldn't risk with children around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Red backs and white tails - squash! DS2 spent an evening in some discomfort in A&E having been bitten by a red back on the lane ropes at AIS. He was ok but it was a half drowned red back and he was sick for a while. With little kids I'd be inclined to get the pest controllers in ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
