Flashlight and a stick... Works great for getting rid of black widows. You have to make sure you get in there real deep and remove the egg sacks as well. Burn those with some lighter fluid. Bug spray does nothing to them. If you have a full grown female, you can guarantee there is an egg sack somewhere... Good luck.

I have found 2 more on the outside of the house .. another full grown female, bigger than the last, and a young female, mature, but still small in size. It's begining to appear that we are developing a problem. Damn spiders! Go live in the woods where I won't have to get rid of you!! *sigh* Because of these new ladies, I'm gong to have to spray the entire outside base of the house .. which means I'll probably end up killing much more than the Widows, including the other benificial spiders, like the Wolf Spiders that helps control all of the other bugs in the yard. I can see this as leading to an invasion of some out of control population of bug this fall when it gets cold .. which means more spray and more dead bugs.
