Just killed one in my apartment, thought it was a black widow but on closer look it wasn't.

It was black and had a white dot on it's back. Sorry no camera so no picture of it.

Probably a black house spider.

Rather common critter.

Unless that spot was in the shape of an hour glass.

Then it was a Black Widow.

Though her spot is underneath.

That's what it sounds like. They are actually good spiders, they help keep other critters down.

So since it was a good spider and I killed it, does this mean i'm heading to the bad place, or it could be a good place depending on how you view it.

Not at all. If you at first thought it was Widow, then you did the right thing. Personally I think your abit more important then a bug.

Was it one of these?

Well did some more checking and it looked more like a jumping spider than that fiddle back, but it did not need to be indoors anyhoo.

Ah... this would be the culprit:

Jumping spiders won't hurt you, but like a ghost, they can make you hurt yourself

I hate spiders, snakes, and any type of roach! MS has cockroaches that fly and land on you!

Worse...Carolina coast has those too...

Bad sound....one of those scurrying through a heating vent in the middle of the night!

Now, if we are talking about the Carolina coast, nothing tops those ^&%^^&**^ sand fleas.

Supposedly there is a gecko or some other reptile that loves to eat roaches. I do not think that would be a good matchup against those king sized mo-fos on the southern and eastern coasts. Those things will make you run like a mo-fo!

Oh, and don't bother with the Raid unless you got half a can.
