The boys and I were about to load into my car in the garage. I had already opened the garage door and Carter was walking behind the car to get to his side of the car. I was putting Rylan in his carseat and Carter told me there was a spider behind the car. I didn't think much of it - figured it was just one of those common brown spiders that are everywhere outside.
When I went to check on Carter, there was a massive black widow spider walking into the garage. I have only come across a handful before, but none of them were anywhere near this big. I really hate squishing things so I found some wasp spray on a shelf in the garage and sprayed the spider. I took a couple of pictures then but they don't do the spider justice because it was already curled up from the spray.
I proceeded to sweep the spider out of the garage and then bang on it with a running shoe. It was definitely dead then.
Tomorrow I'm planning on cleaning out the garage (though most of our stuff is hanging on the walls) and spraying around the house. We aren't using an exterminator currently, but we may start!
