whilst smugly reading the topic on gators not feeling concerned at all, then read one of the threads about spiders!!!!! Not so smug now, terified of spiders. Are they of very large variety and do they come in the villas, surrounding area frequently?

I've only ever been to Florida once before and we only saw one spider the whole time that we were there - in the garage of the villa. I'm no expert, but I was pretty sure it was a Black Widow.
We left her alone! [msnscared]

The villas all have a pest control programme, both inside and out, so you're very unlikely to see one inside unless you leave a door or window open. They usually can't get through the pool deck netting either.
Only time I've seen spiders is around the eaves of the villa and around the pool equipment and they'll usually run from you rather than to you if they're disturbed.
Even Black Widows are surprisingly small and the only large ones I've ever seen have been in zoos and the like.

WE just had an e-mail from our MC to say that the pest control man found spiders !!! but they have been dealt with !! it's a new villa too, and I am terrified of spiders so I hope that when we go in October that they have been DEALT with.

We had spiders inside because it was a new villa....so the windows and doors had been open for months.......with no screens.......the bug lady sprayed and killed any she came across...... most spiders need to be killed with a contact spray you can buy anywhere and it works in seconds......once a house is cleared....you should only get normal house spiders indoors........just keep the garage door closed ALL THE TIME......it should be the only way they can get into the house....
Did`nt see any spiders last visit, but did have an Armidillo (excuse Spelling)wandering around our pool I could`nt believe it, and a snake in our porch[:0][msnscared] about 3-4 foot long had to get the guy next door (local) too shoo it away ! Made sure we all walked on the path after that

You will find spiders in new villas....the doors and windows have been open for ages.....make sure your bug man goes into the attic.....thats where my big ones were.....
Spiders really need to be contact spayed to kill them.....so if your bug man found them....they will be dead.......
Maybe we've been lucky ~ we are not spider fans either [xx(], but in the 12 years we have been visiting Florida, we have never seen any at all, apart from Animal Kingdom of course

What do Black Widows look like? Will I be able to recongnise it if I find one or do they just look like house spiders?? [:0]
