I’m glad you brought up the spider egg subject Mike.
For those of us who ship or receive parts from around the country (or world), it’s imperative we
check closely for egg sacs or plant parts and twigs.
Especially in our coastal regions, where the weather is so temperate, we are very prone to introducing
non-native species to our areas which our native predators and pathogens are ill suited to handling.
As in the case of Mike’s Brown Widow, I would hate to flip over an old chair just to find one of
these nasties leering at me...indeed a safety concern.
As mentioned, encouraging natural controls is often best as bugs have a habit of becoming
conditioned to chemical controls which can eventually make them even harder to control.
And Good Morning to you Dunenutt!!!
