Squish

[forsyth]

So, Black Widow spiders are on the list of things I can squish without feeling terribly guilty.

It's a list mostly limited to parasites and things dangerous to family and pets.

They're hardly a danger. The chance of a black widow causing any serious harm to people or pets is so incredibly slim. Most of the time, they won't even bite when they find somebody in their face; they'll just curl up in a ball and play dead. They're incredibly good for keeping the house clear of bugs that might actually be annoying or even harmful.
