I lived in an area of CA that was having problems with black widows. OMG. When you spray them with spider spray, they just shake it off and keep going. You have to actually stomp on them!!! I used to go on black widow hunts, covered head to toe in hat gloves, long sleeves...didn't matter how hot it was. Then I carried a bat and wore combat boots. I found about 12 of those things in one day once, all just around my house.

We have them here in Woodland CA! The neighbor wanted us to spray for them. I told them it was pointless since you had to hit black widows with very strong poison to kill them. Spraying the perimeter of the house is a waste of money and bad for the environment.

Newest thing to put on my checklist for a retirement home, thanks to you all:
* No black widow spiders in the vicinity!

You should also check for these as well. Much of the US has these. The further south, the more prevalent.
You don't want me to give the details what these cause. Read it yourself on a quick Google search.
Yes, I have seen them. I left them alone.
