nah, would make some time.
and i really need someone to show me around the goddamn town
Alright sure thing. If the times line up I can probably help out.
Oh, but watch out buddy - in Phoenix (specifically) lots of places have a mad black widow infestation. I've tried releasing praying mantises, taratulas, and various lizards, but most of them want nothing to do with black widows...
don't burn ur house down bro. I find that using aerosols to blind them and something long to smash them works, like a baseball bat or umbrella (i dont need an umbrella here much, but keep it to kill spiders mostly.
If you can nail them with a good concentrated spray of glade or febreeze works too. Initially it won't slow them down much but keep spraying them head-on and their movements will become sluggish.
This also makes them lose their grip if on walls or ceiling, so make sure you're not directly next to or under them. Had one fall on my head once, though luckily i shook it off and didnt get bitten
...or just get a really nice apartment / hotel and not have too many creepy crawlies bro, whatever works better.
See you later. I'll help a brother out as much as possible, the spider info is to make your life easier. Dollar store aerosols work too. Don't worry about the black widows bothering you in your sleep - they don't spend the nights looking for warmth, most of them are hunting insects and spinning webs (the ones they make in your doorways can be annoying though).
Movies tend to exaggerate too much how black widows are - they're not terrible to manage as long as you keep their numbers small. If you let a large nest get out of control though you may want to call an exterminator.
(I know it seems like I was obsessing with the black widows things, and it's because I really, really fucking hate them. All spiders, but tarantulas are okay because most species from pet shops are pretty docile)
