I live on the wet side of Washington state and I think the Brown Recluse is the worst spider here. Never seen one…yet. I deal with paper wasps or hornets in old cars outside probably the most. The trick with them is to visit the car in the early morning when the dew is heavy. The wetness in the air keeps them from being able to fly. They walk around a little, flicking their wings, but stay grounded. Mice are probably the worst nuisance. I pulled a heater box out once to change the heater core and had one jump out at me. He was like a little supper Ninja. I have never shot out of a car so fast. I like to think it was more about being surprised then being scared of a tiny one ounce mammal.
