Magic Mushroom House Joshua Tree. Recently renovated, hot tub, 5 min from park!

I'm sorry you were unhappy with your stay! You didn't mention a spider indoors to me during your stay, only that you saw one outside. As I said in my message, it's not really possible to exterminate the outdoors, and would be dangerous to the wildlife. I did offer to send someone out to kill the spider. (Didn't receive a response) Personally I don't feel that two spiders, one of them outdoors, constitutes an infestation. We haven't had any other guests mention an issue. While I think it is unlikely the spiders were black widows, yes, us humans share the desert wirth many critters..Not just spiders, but snakes, coyotes, bobcats, chipmunks, eagles, hawks, roadrunners, and more are all part of the habitat in Joshua tree, they were actually there first! Many of our guests come to the area specifically to enjoy the natural beauty and wildlife. Maybe the desert is not the right vacation spot for you! For full disclosure, I am copying and pasting our entire communication below: Joseph Plazekhi: Katelyn! we have arrived and love the place :) I am looking for a place to plug in my car - any regular wall outlet will do. I see the garage is locked, where should I plug in?10:25 PM May 10, 2024 Joseph PlazekI: did find a place to plug in the car last night, so no problem there anymore.however, last night when we stepped outside to see the backyard we were greeted by a very large black widow spider (I can send pics if you like). Would you be able to to call a service to spray/treat the property for this today? so that we can enjoy the outdoor spaces during our time here 7:32 AM Kateyn Michele: Good morning! Glad you found a place for the car. Im sorry about the spider! Hmm let me ask my husband about that! Will get back to you shortly. How is everything else? Please lmk if you have any questions. Enjoy your day!10:07 AM Kateyn Michele And yes please send pics of spider if you don't mind :)10:15 AM Joseph Plazekyes, do you have an email or cell that I can send the pics to? it doesn't give me an option in this chat 10:43 AM Katelyn Michele: Hi again, I talked to my husband and asked a couple of our neighbors (as we are fairly new to the desert) and was told exterminating the backyard isn't feasible, that bugs and other critters outdoors are just part of desert life & there's a good chance of encountering them at the national park or wherever else you go. And spraying will poison the food chain and alter ecosystem. There's been some baby chipmunks and birds around, and we do also allow dogs on our property, so wouldn't want to harm them with toxic chemicals! We do exterminate inside the home on a regular basis. I stayed at the house for several days earlier in the week, and didn't have any issues with spiders or any other bugs, so I think you should be ok. (Wear closed toed shoes) However, if the black widow is still there, happy to send someone out to kill/remove it, check around for others and spread around/spray diatomaceous earth & essential oils which help deter bugs & spiders! Let me know what you think! Don't worry about sending the pics. Thanks, Katelyn
