....or at least that's what I heard last night! :lmao: I was flipping channels, and wound up stopping at "Billy the Exterminator". Let's just say he should probably have a fact checker on site.....especially when he's dealing with those "killer spiders"!!! What a tool!:rolleyes:

That guy is a tool to say the least and the show was a joke...I watched it last year a couple times and it was more about his personal life and his parents trying to control it. :dunno:

I used to work for an electrical company installing traffic signals and all the electrical boxes are in the ground. Any box we opened up had a minimum of 5 to 7 widows in them. I have seen so many co-workers get bit by widows it's not even funny. The worst I ever seen happen to them was a slight fever.
I hate it when people try to make them sound like they are deadly! :nono:

In the United States, an average of 4 deaths per year are reported to occur as a result of spider bites. However, no deaths caused by widow spider envenomation have been reported to the AAPCC since its first annual report in 1983.
