If you haven't encountered one of these yet you probably will if you live in the south. Brown Widow spiders are everywhere down here and the newest thing for us bug killers to deal with. They are very venomous but rarely bite and only inject a little venom so they aren't really that horrible, it's just that there are so MANY of them. If you wonder if they are around just check any place a spider could hide and build a web and see if there are small balls that look like white sandspurs in it. That's them. I had them in all four wheel wells and in the hitch and under everything they could find. I'm still studying control but have found dusts work best. They don't like going inside so I'm not too worried, but I'll keep an eye out inside the coach.
Don't freak out, just be aware that they are out here.
