I’m curious your opinion on black widows or other deadly venomous creatures? I’ve had a bunch in my car, house and yard. And I have been recommended just burning it all but I don’t have new anything money.
I went to relocate a spider outside yesterday like I normally do. Scooped it up in Tupperware and took it outside without much thought.
Only when I released it did I realise it was a redback. Those I usually do murder if I find them in the house, mainly out of concern for my dog. I’m now reconsidering that approach. It was no biggie catching or releasing it (huntsmans are a whole other story… So fast and jumpy) so maybe I’ll do that in future.

High percentage alcohols are extremely toxic to all insects and arachnids. 95% isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle will have them rapidly dead.
Yellow jackets are fair game as well. Gandalf didn’t give a damn about Uruk-hai, Orc or Balrog.
