The Chinese JORO spiders invaded this area a few years ago... I ran ito many webs made by their tiny offspring earlier this week as.View attachment 38182

That's a huge female and a shotgun will take care of her quickly.
Males are small and can fly with the breeze.

They do have venom but not serious for humans, just bugs and rodents and such

I murdered hundreds of them with one of these last year... they are adapting to my efforts by building huge webs more than 50 feet up in the pines. The cold doesn't bother them, and I'm afraid they are here to stay.

You can see the attending male in this picture

They are colorful

What is the accurate range on a salt-gun?

Maybe 8 ft. ... I prefer the muzzle to be less than a foot from them

Well, the mother cat was acting squirrelly yesterday by wanting an unusual amount of affection. Being not my cat she hangs around the garage a lot. This is the cat that would hiss at me a lot. She figured out I'm not a bad person as her kids would come to play. About 7ish last night I noticed she couldn't keep her fluids contained. I guess I'll make her a bed as so to get comfortable. Within an hour or 1 1/2 she finally gave birth. With her emotional support animal (her daughter) she was used as a body pillow. 4 kiddos there be.

Awe lucky kitty

Maybe try "Air Soft" rifle?

A lil more costly than a SaltGun but range is much further?

Each surviving female lays about 1,500 eggs so the real battle is lost, but I will continue to execute those I can reach because walking into their multi layered 4 dimensional webs is not fun.

Can you spray them with bleach to kill the eggs? Being a species not native to the area you are not doing any harm by trying to eradicate them.

Bleach is pretty harsh on everything else, but I do mash the egg sacks whenever I find them.... still it's best to murder the female before she lays eggs in the fall.

Do you know of a way to spray bleach up 50'?
