Tess   10 #14 Posted October 23, 2013 To be fair, the advice is "if in doubt, kill it".  A man I know identified a false widow spider in his home about 2 or 3 years ago. Sent it off to be tested, and it was confirmed at the time. These spiders being around is not new information, its just the press is doing its best to scaremonger their readers.

Squiggs   11 #21 Posted October 23, 2013 It's them or us .   Death or a tingly finger...  Hardly "them or us"   OH MY GOD PANIC THERES A SPIDER THAT GIVES YOU A TINGLY FINGER!  People are soft and frankly pathetic. A species that fears something so relatively innocuous - fears enough to lash out and kill. What a primitive species we are, when you think about it.
