Don't Mess with a Redback Spider!! 
   
   
   
   
An office receptionist got the shock of her life earlier this week when she found a 70cm long snake entangled in the web of a deadly spider. Tania Robertson, a receptionist at an electrical firm, came in to work on Tuesday and spotted the sight next to a desk in her office. The snake, which had obviously died from the spider's poisonous bite, was off the ground and caught up in the web.
 
Leon Lotz of the Arachnology Department at the National Museum said it was only the second time that he had heard of a snake getting caught in a spider's web. It is believed the snake got caught in the web on Monday night. But it did not take the spider long to bite it. A red mark on the snake's stomach was evidence of where the spider had started eating it.
 
Throughout Tuesday, the spider checked on her prey, but on Wednesday she rolled it up and started spinning a web around it. She also kept lifting it higher off the ground, while continually snacking on it.

My only fear is spiders. Reading and looking at this thread has actually made me break out in a sweat. They are mini baby devil spawn things.

i hate spiders, completely pointless...

(even though i have a tattoo of one as if its crawling up my leg)

thing is, im the one that has to catch them then throw them out, so i make sure they die a horrible death in the process  :evil:

on monday i cleaned the gfs car, by thursday, theres were 2 huge webs covering the wing mirrors again, everytime i get rid, they reappear, obviously the spiders are hiding in side, ive tried pressure washing them out, any ideas on what i can use to kill/remove them?

thanks
