Probably not. Necrosis from wolf spider bites has never been confirmed. Even then, only the South American varieties have been implicated.

Spiders are good for the ecosystem, especially if you don't like insects.

Well, not really, but they are spiders, so they are assholes and can go frick themselves.

I wasn't kidding about the WD-40/lighter by the way.

They seem aggressive when I am cutting my back yard, but I've never felt threatened really.

Ok...thanks

I have lived in old Metairie for 33 years...never seen a hawk, a wild parrot, a rat, a possum, a racoon or a wolf spider. I have seen them all in the last two years here.
