I live on the east end of Slidell, by the Honey Island Swamp. Usually every summer I get a run of Brown Widows - they make erratic webs low to the ground, like under the window sills, around the legs of the bbq pit, etc. This year I killed around 5 or 6 a night every 2-3 nights for about a 2 week period (I posted here with some pics back then). then they were gone. Haven't seen any in a month or two, then all of a sudden I had a web every couple feet and took out 21 in that one night. Most were small this time around, so I obviously missed some egg sacs last kill.

Normally they wouldn't bother me, but my Yorkie likes to hunt for frogs and geckos at night so he's walking rght into the webs. That makes it KIWF time. I use a fireplace lighter to torch them.
