They enter through your home’s foundation, gaps found around windows and doors and nest in high moisture places, like your basement or laundry room.

Black widows are active when the temperature is 70 degrees or higher, but they can survive lower temperatures with the right conditions. Black widow spiders spin irregular webs, which they build at night near ground level. Outdoors, black widow spiders commonly live in protected areas like under stones and in firewood piles. Indoors, black widows prefer cluttered areas of garages, crawl spaces. Symptoms of a black widow spider bite include fever, increased blood pressure, sweating and nausea.

If you notice black widows or signs of infestation, contact a professional immediately for a proper course of black widow spider control.
