Dear Jan,
      I'm with you on not wanting to breathe the fumes, so I just usually
use a broom to shoo them away.   You mention the big black ones...  they're
not the black widow spiders, are they?   Those I don't tolerate, but you
usually only find them at night in or near sheds or under decks, etc.   I've
had more black widows this year... I've been calling it the year of the
spiders... yuck.   It must be just the right combination of weather that has
made the spiders of all kinds abundent this year.   I've had a ton of a
large yellow spiders with green/brown stripes in my iris this year... I call
them garden spiders because they make this neatest circular web and that's
what I've always known them as.   They all seem to disappear suddenly, which
they already have.   I don't know if they're poisonous, but would like to
know since they have been in the iris beds where I am weeding.
