In particular, "The spider (hunting mostly at night) sits just inside the entrance with its front legs on the trip-lines. When a beetle, cockroach, or small skink, typical items of funnel web food, walks across the lines, the spider senses the vibrations and races out to grab its meal. The prey is quickly subdued by an injection of venom from the spider's large fangs. Funnel-web spiders may also forage on the surface in the vicinity of the burrow."
People are usually bitten on a limb. Immediate action should be taken to apply a pressure immobilisation bandage and immobilise the bitten limb using a splint. Restrict the victim's movement. Capture the spider for positive identification. Do not wash venom off the skin, as retained venom will assist identification. Seek medical attention urgently.

Well to me is to get a febreze or something like that and spray to the spider. it will curl up and die but u need to pick it up if u are killing a big spider. if its a small one then just dont touch it.
u grab a shoe that u dont like and smash it then throw the shoe away and then ur done

There are many ways to kill a Black Widow spider.
1. Shoot it
2. Step on it
3. Squeeze it
4. Lasers too!
5. Cut it
6. Roll it over with a car, rolling chair, etc.
7. Vacuum it
8. Drown it
9. Suffocate it in a jar with no oxygen
10. Trap it in a jar and don't feed it for a long time
This list can get much, much longer. All you have to do is use your imagination! Be creative. *NOTE* I would rather kill it in a quick, painless death. I have arachnophobia, but I still feel bad killing them slowly and painfully.

Funnel Web Spiders can be destroyed by squishing them (which I would not recommend unless you are using a large and heavy enough object; they are highly aggressive and will respond by biting if you try to squish them and miss)
You should not spray Funnel Webs with fly-spray, as they will also respond with equal or greater aggression.
If you are aware of the presence of a Funnel Web in its hole, then the best option is to pour boiling water down the hole, but you should do this wearing thick shoes and clothes and standing well clear; the spider may run out if not killed and can bite through fingernails.
Attempting to burn out funnel webs with a flammable liquid is unadvisable as the spider may leave the funnel and present a larger problem.
If you are bitten when destroying a Funnel Web, you should immediately contact 000 as Funnel Webs are highly dangerous.
You don't. To poison them you'd have to poison your whole garden, which would very likely not be what you want to achieve.
Funnelwebs do a pretty good job of pest control, and tend to stay in their funnels or, perhaps more correctly, tunnels; the males will wander during summer or in warm weather, looking for a mate, and should never be approached. Like snakes, you shouldn't try to kill them; it's a good way to get bitten.
The best-known funnelweb is probably Atrax Robustus, commonly known as the Sydney funneweb. If bitten, there is an antivenom which must be administered very quickly; a call to emergency will achieve this. However, there hasn't been a recorded fatality due to this spider in almost thirty years.
Don't worry too much about spiders and other creepy-crawlies; have proper respect for them and their habits, be observant, and learn a little about them so that you know one when you see it. As a matter of commonsense, wear gloves, appropriate clothing, and footwear when gardening.
All you have to do to kill a funnel web is spary it with Morteen and then walk away from it and then come back 20minutes later. sra spray
Yes it can.
It has a potent toxin that can kill you in 3 days.
Call 000.

No, webworms generally do not kill trees but yes, they can contribute to a tree's decline and ultimate death.Specifically, webworms cover trees with webs. Inside the webs, the worms eat the leaves. Trees weaken after several years if they yearly lose more than one-third of their foliage to webworms. But they will survive as long as the leaf-consumption is not coupled with other environmental stresses such as additional pests, extreme moisture and temperature levels, or heavy chemical controls.

Yes, their webs are funnel shaped, thus the name.
Funnel webs have a conical shape with a wider and a narrower opening at the two ends that are mostly made by funnel webs spiders. The web itself would look like a small tunnel going to the spider's nest. Its opening would mostly have a funnel-like shape. Be very careful as you approach a funnel web spider as they have a large number of different toxins in the venom and are potentially deadly.
It raises its front legs and prepares to strike.
nothing mostly can kill the funnel-web because it protects it with its sharp jaws
They usually leave in the undergrowth of woods or under leaves or fallen branches. The funnel refers to the shape of their webs, made of non-sticky silk

Tarantulas are known for their intricate funnel-shaped webs, but there are species of spider such as the Wolf Spider who's web is funnel shaped as well. More than likely the spider is not dangerous, but it depends on the species of the spider you're dealing with. A common spider in the pacific northwest that create a funnel like web are the hobo spider. It can not kill you but their venom is rather potent. It can dissolve the skin surrounding the bite if the bite is not treated correctly. They are large, and the hobo is larger than the brown, and the hobo is also more dangerous. In addition to greater size, it has greater speed and the venom is more potent ------------------------- The spider he's talking about is the Sydney Funnel-Web which can kill a human within 40 minutes of the time of the bite. & The Hobo spider is not the spider that dissolves skin, the Brown Recluse is the one that dissolves skin.
Yes they do. I have a funnel web in my back yard at the base of our wooden fence but I have yet to see the spider. I live in central Ontario and I don't know how common it is to find funnel webs here but I've lived here my whole life, in rural and urban areas, and I've never seen one before yesterday.
Actually just recently the funnel web was recorded as the worlds deadliest spider. Depends. Funnel Web spiders found in Australia can be VERY venomous but the ones found in the U.S. are relatively harmless. The first statement is false, as the Funnel-Web spider has long and is still considered to be inferior to the Brazilian Wandering spider. A Funnel-Web spider commonly can kill a human in between 40 minutes and 1 hour and 40 minutes, never less than 30 (this can vary depending on the victim's immune system level). While the Brazilian Wandering spider has been known to kill humans in 20 minutes. Funnel webs attacks can sometimes be very rare, In Australia the states that funnel webs are in are : ACT & NSW. Some doctors and nurses are still trying to find out how to cure it.
Yes, be aware it may kill your surrounding plants.
