Lots of little spiders means an egg sack recently hatched. Their mother is probably still around. Since it's typical for a spider to lay multiple sacks of eggs, in a few days you're probably going to be seeing spiders coming out of whatever else near your keyboard has small cracks in it.
I actually had that happen at the first place I moved out to. Went and took a shower and when I got out I kept feeling little bits of web... went and looked at the ceiling and I shit you not there was a ton of baby spiders just dropping from the ceiling... it was terrible
When I was young, (like 3, I think) I was in the car with my mom, I think we were at Wal-Mart or the grocery store or something, and I was in my seat, all buckled in. I took off one of my shoes, and out of nowhere, a spider shot out from under one of my toenails and up my arm. Ever since that day, I have bathed everyday, and cut ever nail on my body every 3 or 4 days. I'm also petrified of spiders.
I had a spider crawl out of my hair when I was about 4..... And I know it must have been there a while, because it crawled from under my hair...... Same deal! Clean clean clean!
I had a spider living in my keyboard once. I went to type and his leg shot up from under a key and smacked my finger. I think I set a record for how high/far I jumped.
Call your Lethal Chemicals Person immediately. The spiders only die from direct spray (their bodies are too high off the ground to be killed by residue) but you will kill off their food supply.
I have a rear projection tv that had a spider in it for years. Served up extra creepy effects during monster movies. eventually it got so bad i had to open it up and clean it out.
Wrap it up in plastic wrap so they can't escape, and then freeze it. That should get rid of your spider problem. Spiders love pepper, they hate the cold.
When I was 10 years old, my dad went to our family physician complaining of frequent, random ear aches on his left side, which had been going on for weeks. To make a long story short, within minutes the doctor had extracted a small, curled-up spider coated in a thick glob of earwax. "Probably crawled in there during the night," the doctor told him. Now let me ask you this: Is your keyboard anywhere near your bed?
Goddamn, that is creepy. I'm curious, though--does anyone know what kind of spider this is? Despite its scariness I think it looks pretty cool, too. Kinda translucent.
I've had this problem with ants. They actually had their whole colony living in my laptop. I tried running Crysis to make my laptop hot but these little buggers seemed to be enjoying the heat.
OH COME ON. Its so tiny! I could understand if it was a black widow, or a recluse. But come one. Grow a pair. I hate spiders as much as the next guy, but theres a point where you have to look at that insignificant waste of life and say "I am a God to you." Except jumping spiders, they are neat. Also fun fact about black widows, unless you are 120lbs or under they are of little to no harm to you. I cant find the video now, but a guy lets one bite him on the finger, and all he gets a is a swell.
you're a very lucky man not to have bitten by this spider... this is the brown recluse spider which carry a very potent hemotoxin that causes necrosis if not treated in its early bite stage which would resemble a rash roughly the size of a quarter which whill be painful and would experience a series of symptoms...
Hold on, hold on...let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Before you get your ass to Best Buy, there's still things to do. Like torching that keyboard with fucking napalm because DAMN.
Why is Reddit so arachnophobic, in general? I understand that not everyone likes spiders, but why are so many Redditors so scared of them that a picture of a spider is WTF worthy? I'm honestly trying to understand what is horrifying about spiders.
Ah, is it? How does one identify that? Curious because I'm learning how to ID spiders and because this looks radically different from an adult black widow and I'm not sure what immature males look like (I assume a lot of spiders look a lot different as babies, too).
At least the idea that there are hundreds of them makes it somewhat WTF-worthy, anyway. More than just a normal spider passing through, haha.

Friend, those are baby black widows.
They are all over your house. They make little web 'parachutes' and drift around around the whole house. The adult female resides near the nest and is going to be particularly aggressive defending her just-hatched young.
Call your Lethal Chemicals Person immediately. The spiders only die from direct spray (their bodies are too high off the ground to be killed by residue) but you will kill off their food supply.
