Why kill ANYTHING? STOP KILLING THINGS AND EDUCATE YOURSELF INSTEAD. Spiders are your friend, they dispatch cockroaches, mosquitos, and even other things you dont like (ie scorpions, etc).
The brown recluse that sent my husband to the hospital for four days, with IV antibiotics and steroids wasn't very friendly
Forgot to check out that link this past weekend..... took a trip to Lowes and two flat carts and two buggies later.... gave 'em all my money so we can get the house spruced up to sell so we can head to NM.
This dangerous semi-aquatic snake is truly an aggressive reptile that will stand its ground or even approach an intruder.
That dumb article also goes on to state that the cottonmouth will sit still, open its mouth, and wait for the pursuer to get close enough to bite. Your highlighted sentence sounds more geared towards other snakes, which the cottonmouth will chase away. But humans? Ive never once seen a human being chased by a cottonmouth, thats just not in their nature. I think my video showed that quite clearly. And this fall when I head down to snake road to watch TONS of cottonmouths migrate back to the cliffs for wintering, Ill show you just how aggressive they really are. Ill find one and sit my butt down close to it and watch it just sit there. Is that what it takes to prove my point?

What were his symptoms?
I have a 5 year old nephew in Kansas that was bit, was 100% fine. It all depends on the individual, and the majority of recluse bite victims develop absolutely no harmful symptoms whatsoever.

Why, certainly, Steve-o, you do just that! And while you're at it....if they are so non-aggressive, why don't you just stick your face in theirs and see what happens?
You're fighting a losing battle trying to get the rest of us to love venomous snakes and spiders as you do.
That you think the rest of us are ignorant is also very irrelevant.
Buy a can of raid ant and roach for 299 and spray under your doors and window sills, dryer vent and where spiders might Congregate and spray once or twice a Month and then you dont have to worry about spiders. Plus you take care of the Ant and Roach problem too. p.s. No thanks needed for this important piece of advice. pintada kid at webtv.net
I found a nice perimeter spray of OrthoMax Home Defense last week has cut the indoor bug population significantly in my home - down to nothing but itty bitty spiders. Took a 4 in centipede to get me to spray, but that was all it took.

OK Steve O, you need to get your fact straight on a Western Cotton Mouth vs a Northern water moccasin. The cotton mouth is so dangerous because of it's bad attitude. Cottonmouth

If you think a brown recluse will leave no symptons you don't know what a brown recluse is either.

Well duh. If you get right in their face you'll get bit if the snake perceives you as a threat. Any wild animal that feels threatened will bite you, including dogs, cats, birds, etc.
