My prediction is the Redback spider population will be bigger next Halloween than last. I'm seeing many areas around my home that have never had Redback nests before. I'm starting to feel helpless against the spider army who can breed up massive numbers very fast. They will take over the planet and nothing seems to stop them.
I can't even imagine the frustration and fear of knowing there are deadly spiders everywhere you look on your property. I would be terrified of my own yard. ☹️ I deal with wolf spiders in the autumn but they aren't dangerous like your wolf spiders. They are just big and breed by our swimming pool and even get in it with their backs covered in babies. It's terrible! They do have a nasty bite but it doesn't cause any problems since the venom can't hurt us
i mean, fire is technically effective. Just not humane for these creatures but who even cares? Plus, these spider sprays can be bought at stores for cheap
Puchiguso457 aye, chickens are real great for clearing up all sorts of insects and critters. I haven't had any issues with snakes coming around but I don't live in an area filled with them so who knows.
I Love your Redback Spider Videos and your other spider videos!!! are you doing anymore videos of the redback tank home you have? my son and I always wanted to go to Australia but now he is scared! but I still would love to come!!! please let me know about the redback Tank videos!!!
The Redback tank will go up to week 16. So I'm roughly halfway through those spider videos. Tank 2.0 will hopefully take shape and be the ultimate Redback home.
thank you for letting me know! we just LOVE your videos ! we also love the videos of yourself and your children catching spiders in your home! I honestly don't know how you can deal with all those spiders! thank goodness America doesn't have all these spiders! but keep making your videos we will keep watching!!! 😍😜
I can't help to notice the compounds on the poison you tried. Those are pyretroids -I believe that's how they are called- those are either synthetic or natural toxins found on some plants. They are absorbed by anything that has an exoskeleton and quickly paralyze the subject (As you could see with the sprayed spider). They die due to suffocation. In a really slow and painful death. But it doesn't act that fast. The thing with those compounds is they remain active several days after application killing arthropods & arachnids by just touching the sprayed surface. Hope it helps you with those venomous things!
wow! when you moved the plant tote and revealed the ant colony my jaw dropped as I saw the extent of their infrastructure! amazing little insects aren't they!
You asked for it (Chemist in PUR-Foam) but I like a challenge in other chemicals. -d-allethrin: Is a paralyzer for insects (works on the nervous system before they die, highly toxic for cats ) -d-phenotrin: your egg killing chemical to destroy the egg sacks. -Tetramethrin : hyperactivates nerve cells, ultimately leading to paralysis and death Hope this suffices
Amazing video once again! I'm sorry for you getting hated on by trolls and other people, but we, the majority of your viewers and subscribers LOVE these videos! Keep it up man, I am really interested in Oz!
Raid is the biggest bug killer in the U.S. It's great for bugs but don't know about spiders, I've never had a spider problem in the San Francisco Bay Area. I really like to watch Redback spiders die. I love ur since of humor , u always make me laugh.👏🏼😂🕷🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 Leo, when u say mummy r u talking about ur mother or ur wife? That is some terrible rain🌧💦☔️💧Bluebell is a pretty cat🐱 you are a really nice and fun dad and I can tell that u love animals, just not the 8 leg creepy ones . Have a nice weekend.
Love your spider videos! No widow-type spiders here in Northern Alberta (Canada) ... or venomous snakes ... just a lot of nasty yellowjacket wasps in summer ... but as a teacher I love to learn new things, and students i have shown your videos to are fascinated by them! Incidentally, Raid is (I believe) a north american product, and generally considered a very effective product; i use it to control the above mentioned wasps. Thanks again for the great videos!
Hi Leo. Today I found red backs in my home and if it weren't for you and your videos I wouldn't of known the signs. I was moving stuff under the house and noticed a bit of web, thought it looked familiar from your videos and sure enough after looking around I found a female red back! Thank you for your educational videos! Please keep them coming as I'm learning a lot from you and I'm finding it fascinating :)
Bug sprays literally fry the central nervous system of the organism. That is why they spasm out when sprayed, they aren’t fighting the chemical, their ability to function is being fried.
At first I thought you were mean. But I try not to judge so I held my tongue and just watched. She never knew what hit her. Fast and complete. I've decided that you are actually a very smart fella.
In before the triggered social justice warrior's claim animal cruelty. Great vid as always Leo. Every time I see a new spider video from you in my sub feed it makes my day!
Haha Leo, he is making the warnings more and more clear for the internet trolls. I don't even blame you for using a makeshift flamethrower, I would hate to have those crawling around my garden! I like the videos though, good job buddy.
i find this show very well done and very interesting i haVE A BIG FEAR OF SPIDERS AND I AM LEARNING A LOT FROM THIS SHOW IT IS ONE ON ONE AND I HOPE HE CONTINUES FOR A LONG TIME IT IS VERY INTERESTING
i wonder if an effective way to control them is to spray large areas with some type of oil (canola, vegetable, etc.) it might be the same as vaseline but could be done in larger areas and maybe with a sprayer instead of rubbing each spot with vaseline.
interesting video leo. my grandmother always used to say that ants would start coming into her house when it was going to rain. ive noticed that ants will nest in the soil of my kitchen pot plant especially if the soil is very dry. as soon as i water the plant the ants start leaving the pot immediately, each carrying a tiny white egg.
Dig holes and put the plants in the ground so the spiders don't have a place to hind underneath anything. Then once the plants are ready to be picked then get some good gloves and just pick and throw it in a tub for the food then wash it down really well with hose water then dump the spiders out.
You can try planting spearmint, peppermint, or eucalyptus, spiders don't like those plants, plant them all over or get essential oil and mix with water and spray all over
Leo, I am from Tennessee in the USA, and I do believe that first spider you show ( behind the bricks) is a Black Widow and not a Redback. Correct me if I'm wrong. She appears to have the red hourglass on the underside of her abdomen. Black Widows are common in the USA, and I've had numerous ones over the years in and around my sheds, window crevices, under stairs, etc. I've fortunately never found one in my home....too many Brown Recluse spiders in this part of the country, and I've found too many to count inside my home over the years. Toooooo, too many....but one is too many imo. Keep up the awesome vids....I just discovered them and thoroughly enjoy watching!
I like how it’s in austrailia because well yeah of course it is in this place every single crack. Corner. And place where you can’t fit your hand into. As long as it’s outside it has a spider in it
I thought cats and dogs have evolved to be resistant to most spider venom, unlike us primates. But, apparently, some spiders do pose a threat to cats and dogs, and yes, as you guessed the red back is one of these.
I am amazed at the amount of red back spiders that have infested your home/yard. Your wife's garden is so beautiful and I hope you spider inspect before she goes outside to tend to her plants. Does the spiders bother her? I live in the US and thank god we don't have them here yet. Your videos are so informative and entertaining. I love your Red Back spider tank. What are you going to do with all those babies?
hey sir love England .. just had a thought, why not vaseline a meter wide perimiter around your house? do Redbacks carry in the wind? keep up the vids! .. in the uk its Red in the morning shepards warning :) red sky at night shepards delight :)
Hey leo im moving to new zealand where there is like no spider there i was wondering what do you use for your flamethrower ? i know u use rexona but whats the other one? Cheers
Just on that pacific islands tend to have no spiders. It's weird! I remember when I worked in Fiji there was not a spider to be seen, but hell the sea snakes were EVERYWHERE in the ocean .
Firstly: I would definitely like to see more videos on the ants, they're very interesting. Secondly: From what I've seen in your previous videos the egg sacs generally go a darker colour than the one you found in your porch before they hatch. So perhaps the egg sac could have been an empty one? I know that some other spider species do occasionally lay empty sacs. I'm far from an expert but that's just a thought that crossed my mind. Thirdly: Keep up the good stuff, I always enjoy your videos :)
What if you were to get a bunch of mantis eggs and hatch those suckers, then set them loose in the yard? Even if they are not that effective in controlling the spider population that is already there, I imagine it would be a good deterrent for spiders trying to make a new home in that garden. If the yard is flooded with mantis I doubt they'd want to set up there.
Love these videos Leo! Our backyard has been generally okay with red backs but we get a few here and there that a tiny red backs. My dog usually accidentally steps on them (Big dog) as I find squashed red backs curled but lifeless.
I live in the in SA in the Adelaide hills and I honestly find these videos so interesting! They have helped me a lot in identifying webs around the place farm and I guess just making me more cautious about things! I've noticed a lot more white tailed spiders lately inside the house especially and big ones at that! Have you had this experience over in NSW?
hey u like watching ur videos they & you are Very Entertaining lol. but anyways. I don't know if they sell these over there were you live, BUT. here in the US where I live in Ohio, almost every single gas station around here & corner stores sell these different size & diff color Torches that I think you would find Fun and Useful lol, but u can refill them easily when there empty with Butane lighter fluid & keep on spider Tourching away ;) all you do is pull the trigger and its blowing a nice flame and u can also adjust the size of the flame. I actually have one here at home and also a couple torch lighters that I never use. sucks I'm all the way In Ohio. but have a nice day & keep up with the videos, oh & 1 more question what is your BIGGEST Spider over in Australia ?
Hey Leokimvideo, been enjoying your videos for a while and id like to give you some information on some chemicals of the cheapest spray: The L-ALLETHRIN is probably also an ingredient for the RAID Spray. Toxicity aside for insects it is also very high for fish, aquatic invertebrates and cats (!) as they can not detox from it. The D-PHENOTHREN is supposed to take care of fleas, ticks and lice but there have been reports of noumerous cat deaths while dogs seem to handle it better. To humans these compounds are irritating at least and sideffects get nastier at higher exposition. Okay, hope that helps, totally with you on preferrably not using chemicals.. keep up your great work, interesting stuff!!
Try using Rodent Sherrif, its a peppermint reppelent compound that repels anything from rats, mice, and redback spiders. Plus it'll make your house smell like peppermint.
Not familiar w/RAID? that stuff is all over the radio/tv, everything, it's the top insect/pest/everything killer product, but perhaps that's only in the US? not sure
I am a cat owner and I always wondered why cats wouldn't be bitten by spiders and the thing is I think they are it's just the skin is so thick like if you have more than one and they're always fighting you don't really see him bleeding I caught of mine bleeding because the other one went to far apparently their skin is very thick and is hard for spiders to get through I don't know why I had to figure that out but I looked up one day because I was worried about one of mine being bitten by a particularly big one I'm not an expert but I had cats my whole life and since I was a kid I watched tons of nature documentaries learned a lot about spiders and I'm learning even more about redbacks now
could a possum be eating the plants? my dad had to cover up his plants in wire, but i dont think possums would eat leaves like that. probably a big catepillar.
If there is a local pet store, perhaps you could try to acquire some Skinks. My mom worked in a pet store (in the US during the 80's or 90's mind you) but they did sell them. If the cost isn't too prohibitive, might re-introducing some front line soldiers be an option? I understand the cats would be after 'em, but you never know, they could be around long enough to help thin out The Hoard! Best of luck to you Leo, God bless.
The only thing I can really comment on is ants knowing the weather. I think they are sensitive to air pressure and humidity (oddly enough, so are spiders and most other insects). So it is very possible they can sense subtle changes. However the eggs... I think ants need their eggs to hatch near a plant on the surface so the newly emerged antlings (technical term, obviously) have food.
Yes, ants are very strange creatures. And they sure breed like I've never seen before. I don't even wanna know how many eggs were in that ant hill, or how many were hatched.
My prediction is the Redback spider population will be bigger next Halloween than last. I'm seeing many areas around my home that have never had Redback nests before. I'm starting to feel helpless against the spider army who can breed up massive numbers very fast. They will take over the planet and nothing seems to stop them.
leokimvideo put a colony of ants into the tanks plzz
leokimvideo so true i had a similer problem but with a diffrend spider im not sure what it is called but they grow bigger then the radback
I like pineapple on pizza yes, but there's a spider like it called the black widow that lives in the us
leokimvideo yea please do a series about ant love ur videos carry on 😁
I can't even imagine the frustration and fear of knowing there are deadly spiders everywhere you look on your property. I would be terrified of my own yard. ☹️ I deal with wolf spiders in the autumn but they aren't dangerous like your wolf spiders.

They do have a nasty bite but it doesn't cause any problems since the venom can't hurt us
Savage for opening the sac in front of the mom.
People on the internet scream "Kill it with fire!"
This guy produces actual results.
i mean, fire is technically effective. Just not humane for these creatures but who even cares? Plus, these spider sprays can be bought at stores for cheap
@@lapplandkun9273 Nothing is inhumane when it comes down to killing spiders, I would even consider explosive options if needed.
A friend of mine had a scorpion infestation, he bought a chicken and it ate them all. Maybe it could work to control the spiders aswel.
Puchiguso457 that would attract poisonous snakes... not exactly a good idea there...
Puchiguso457 aye, chickens are real great for clearing up all sorts of insects and critters. I haven't had any issues with snakes coming around but I don't live in an area filled with them so who knows.
Get a pet Kookaburra. No more venomous snakes
Puchiguso457 I've seen Redbacks bite chickens and kill them
Why you love spider but you klli spider
You so dumb
Goodnight sistaaa!!!!🔥🕷
These videos are so, indirectly, educational! Thanks for doing the dirty work for us. I know I wouldn't go near any type of spider with red on it
Don't stop making these videos! They are awesome. Ignore the trolls.
I Love your Redback Spider Videos and your other spider videos!!! are you doing anymore videos of the redback tank home you have? my son and I always wanted to go to Australia but now he is scared! but I still would love to come!!! please let me know about the redback Tank videos!!!

+Kaylee Babee I'm from Australia too an it really depends on the house u gonna live in, I've only seen one redback in like 5 years (in my bathroom)

your cat looks so nice :)
It's not our cat, Bluebell belongs to someone else but Bluebell is in love with Fluffy cat. It's a long story.
You asked for it (Chemist in PUR-Foam) but I like a challenge in other chemicals.
-d-allethrin: Is a paralyzer for insects (works on the nervous system before they die, highly toxic for cats )

I miss the tool! The suspense of seeing what the tool drags out is one of the best bits
I love ants, always like just staying by a mound and watching their comings and goings. They are the definition of a community and the glue of nature.
dude, keep making these videos! this infestation is your own personal gold mine.
Raid is the biggest bug killer in the U.S. It's great for bugs but don't know about spiders, I've never had a spider problem in the San Francisco Bay Area. I really like to watch Redback spiders die.

Hi Leo, I've really enjoyed you spider videos. I learned quite about black widows as well. I look forward to all your new posts. TY
What a gorgeous rain shower! I am glad your garden got a good amount of water!
I love these videos so much, your spider related videos are my number one favourite to watch and I missed the flamethrower so much haha
youtube algorithm may take away new people but I see every spider video pop up as soon as it posts.
I watched your latest video (Garbage Truck Spider), and when it was over, it sent me here. Even YT loves a good flame thrower :)
Thanks for the vid leo, its always interesting to see what you've been up to.
Love your spider videos! No widow-type spiders here in Northern Alberta (Canada) ... or venomous snakes ... just a lot of nasty yellowjacket wasps in summer ... but as a teacher I love to learn new things, and students i have shown your videos to are fascinated by them!

THANKS LEOK I'VE MISSED THE KISS OF FLAME! Cheers from America!
thanks for the tips mate im in yhe hospital from a redbackspider bite they are brutal but now i can be brutal
Since it's the spider's time I wonder what will come next. which animal will takeover.
i find this show very well done and very interesting i haVE A BIG FEAR OF SPIDERS AND I AM LEARNING A LOT FROM THIS SHOW IT IS ONE ON ONE AND I HOPE HE CONTINUES FOR A LONG TIME IT IS VERY INTERESTING
i wonder if an effective way to control them is to spray large areas with some type of oil (canola, vegetable, etc.) it might be the same as vaseline but could be done in larger areas and maybe with a sprayer instead of rubbing each spot with vaseline.
Your videos have helped me alot especially when I'm depressed thank you leokim

Mushed, snotty spider abdomen, salad from mummy's garden, maybe some eggsack garnish, simply delicious. Backyard bush tucker banquet!
Thanks to you Leo I am not afraid of spiders anymore 🙌🙌😁
YES! I was hoping there was new video today.
Dig holes and put the plants in the ground so the spiders don't have a place to hind underneath anything. Then once the plants are ready to be picked then get some good gloves and just pick and throw it in a tub for the food then wash it down really well with hose water then dump the spiders out.

you are amazing for doing this, please keep it up, i am learning so much from these videos
Such a cool video. Keep them coming!
Love your videos Leo. You're very entertaining to listen to.
Its pretty nice of you to feed the ants the dead spiders.
random thought. infuse petroleum jelly with the mortein and make a super jelly that will keep them from starting up under your pots
The flame thrower sound is Very satisfying lol
It's the sound of VICTORY
Leo, I am from Tennessee in the USA, and I do believe that first spider you show ( behind the bricks) is a Black Widow and not a Redback. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Toooooo, too many....but one is too many imo. Keep up the awesome vids....I just discovered them and thoroughly enjoy watching!
I mixed some vaseline with mortein, and the result was a fertilizer that got rid of a lot of pests
You're the man! How do you not just freak out? Thank you for fighting the good fight, your like one of our Navy SEALS, SEAL team RedBack
Why does she use the tubs to plant her garden? couldn't you just put everything in the ground?
Leo , Congrats on 1 billion views!
I like how it’s in austrailia because well yeah of course it is in this place every single crack. Corner. And place where you can’t fit your hand into.
As long as it’s outside it has a spider in it
I thought cats and dogs have evolved to be resistant to most spider venom, unlike us primates. But, apparently, some spiders do pose a threat to cats and dogs, and yes, as you guessed the red back is one of these.

What are you going to do with all those babies?
I always love these videos!
The insect eating the plants is a big caterpillar. I've had them on my tomato plants. They turn into butterflies or moths.
Have you tried using surface spray
hey sir love England .. just had a thought, why not vaseline a meter wide perimiter around your house? do Redbacks carry in the wind? keep up the vids! .. in the uk its Red in the morning shepards warning :) red sky at night shepards delight :)
Hey leo im moving to new zealand where there is like no spider there i was wondering what do you use for your flamethrower ? i know u use rexona but whats the other one? Cheers
Just on that pacific islands tend to have no spiders. It's weird!
I remember when I worked in Fiji there was not a spider to be seen, but hell the sea snakes were EVERYWHERE in the ocean .
I like Fiji water from the untouched coves, the best water ever.
I think thats just filtered rain water.
Most likely, at least it doesn't have a plastic taint to it.
The neighbor behind the fence hearing GOODNIGHT SISTAAA
Firstly: I would definitely like to see more videos on the ants, they're very interesting.
Secondly: From what I've seen in your previous videos the egg sacs generally go a darker colour than the one you found in your porch before they hatch. So perhaps the egg sac could have been an empty one? I know that some other spider species do occasionally lay empty sacs. I'm far from an expert but that's just a thought that crossed my mind.
Thirdly: Keep up the good stuff, I always enjoy your videos :)
“And here we have some insect killer”
Oh so were gonna do it the normal way then?
*busts out the flamethrower*
“BURRRRN”
What if you were to get a bunch of mantis eggs and hatch those suckers, then set them loose in the yard? Even if they are not that effective in controlling the spider population that is already there, I imagine it would be a good deterrent for spiders trying to make a new home in that garden. If the yard is flooded with mantis I doubt they'd want to set up there.
I don't wanna get too personal but what city in Australia do you live in? I live in Adelaide
How deadly are actually these? If you or one of your kid would get a bite, would it actually be life threatening? Thanks for the videos, loving these
the multi spray is very good those stats are amazing
Love these videos Leo! Our backyard has been generally okay with red backs but we get a few here and there that a tiny red backs. My dog usually accidentally steps on them (Big dog) as I find squashed red backs curled but lifeless.
This brings me joy
I'd love for you to do an ant colony! That would be amazing with your commentary! Loved the storm, too! So awesome!
So people are complaining that you flame throw them but expect you to spray them? The flame thrower kills them in seconds, and the spray drags it out
I live in the in SA in the Adelaide hills and I honestly find these videos so interesting! They have helped me a lot in identifying webs around the place farm and I guess just making me more cautious about things!
I've noticed a lot more white tailed spiders lately inside the house especially and big ones at that! Have you had this experience over in NSW?
hey u like watching ur videos they & you are Very Entertaining lol. but anyways. I don't know if they sell these over there were you live, BUT. here in the US where I live in Ohio, almost every single gas station around here & corner stores sell these different size & diff color Torches that I think you would find Fun and Useful lol, but u can refill them easily when there empty with Butane lighter fluid & keep on spider Tourching away ;) all you do is pull the trigger and its blowing a nice flame and u can also adjust the size of the flame.

try stepping on it or just reach out onto the spider and use your entire palm to squish it... it will not have time to bite if u squish it hard enough
Me: *kicks open my sister's bedroom door* "HELLO SISTER!!" *sprays flame thrower*
Hey Leokimvideo, been enjoying your videos for a while and id like to give you some information on some chemicals of the cheapest spray:

Okay, hope that helps, totally with you on preferrably not using chemicals.. keep up your great work, interesting stuff!!
hey Leo when will the next ho scale or oo scale video be? bachmann has just released oliver and I would love to see u review it or show it in a vid
brill video, could the droppings be bunny wabbits? love your videos cant wait for them all, what happened with the praying manitis and redback?
In San Diego, California, I've been having an issue with black widows much like this...
Try using Rodent Sherrif, its a peppermint reppelent compound that repels anything from rats, mice, and redback spiders. Plus it'll make your house smell like peppermint.
Not familiar w/RAID? that stuff is all over the radio/tv, everything, it's the top insect/pest/everything killer product, but perhaps that's only in the US? not sure
"GOOD NIGHT SISTER"! 😂
@leokimvideo It could be snails eating your plants..?
I love your spider videos!!!
I am a cat owner and I always wondered why cats wouldn't be bitten by spiders and the thing is I think they are it's just the skin is so thick like if you have more than one and they're always fighting you don't really see him bleeding I caught of mine bleeding because the other one went to far apparently their skin is very thick and is hard for spiders to get through I don't know why I had to figure that out but I looked up one day because I was worried about one of mine being bitten by a particularly big one I'm not an expert but I had cats my whole life and since I was a kid I watched tons of nature documentaries learned a lot about spiders and I'm learning even more about redbacks now
Leo do u like Red backs or Ants more or both :-)
could a possum be eating the plants? my dad had to cover up his plants in wire, but i dont think possums would eat leaves like that. probably a big catepillar.
Hey Leo go to Aldi and Coles their fly sprays work use the red and black bottles from coles green ones from aldi are good 😊
If you know can please tell me if red backs kill chickens?
Off topic but spider related. Anyway you could put a huntsmen spider in the tank?
If there is a local pet store, perhaps you could try to acquire some Skinks. My mom worked in a pet store (in the US during the 80's or 90's mind you) but they did sell them. If the cost isn't too prohibitive, might re-introducing some front line soldiers be an option? I understand the cats would be after 'em, but you never know, they could be around long enough to help thin out The Hoard! Best of luck to you Leo, God bless.
I'm sure this is a very American question, but do you ever encounter funnel web spiders on your property?
Luckily no. We are not really in their territory. There are large trapdoor spiders here but you rarely ever see them.
leokimvideo That's a blessing at least.
I love his Australian accent! XD
You should buy a macro lens 👌🏻
The only thing I can really comment on is ants knowing the weather. I think they are sensitive to air pressure and humidity (oddly enough, so are spiders and most other insects). So it is very possible they can sense subtle changes.
However the eggs... I think ants need their eggs to hatch near a plant on the surface so the newly emerged antlings (technical term, obviously) have food.
Oh God I was just eating pizza when you squashed the guts out of that redback 😱
Yes, ants are very strange creatures. And they sure breed like I've never seen before. I don't even wanna know how many eggs were in that ant hill, or how many were hatched.
Just to let you know mate, Raid is definitely an overseas brand, very popular in the UK
