I also lived in TX a while...my older son had open heart surgery in San Antonio. That's not a tip I would ever forget, either...nor one I would do!
Having grown up in OK and having been "chased" as a child by a huge black hairy tarantula that just wouldn't die by being 'ground' multiple times into the earth by my Dad's cowboy boot heel and continued to hop up out of the hole and chase me again, I am not a huge fan of spiders of any size...oh, and I accidentally discovered that "Raid Wasp and Hornet" will cut the legs off the brown FL tarantulas (and the huge wolf spiders) at close range...
