Baby Black Widow Spiders In Nest

Female Black Widow Spiders have up to 750 baby black widow spiders born from a single egg sac. The female black widow spider builds her nest and hangs her egg sac up in a corner of the nest and guards it. Quite often she consumes some of the babies before they leave the nest. If you look at the bottom side of baby black widow spiders you will see a brown hour glass shape on the bottom of each baby black widow spider.

A lot of the Baby Black Widow Spiders are eaten by the mother Black Widow Spider and a few will be eaten by birds but a few of the baby black widow spiders will survive. It is not unusual to find a black widow nest with hundreds of baby black widow spiders hanging in it and crawling around. The large female black widow spider will be quite aggressive at this time.

Unfortunately it is true that there are three species of spiders in the United States that can kill you. They are the Brown Recluse Spider, The Hobo Spider, and the Black Widow Spider. Above is a chart you can go by and it will tell you exactly what you should expect in the event of a spider bite.



If you think you have been bitten by a poisonous spider you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. The best thing to do if you think you have received a bite from one of the three deadly spiders is to call 911 and ask for help. If you can capture the spider with out getting another bite get it into a jar with a tight fitting lid and take it with you when you seek medical help.



If you can not capture the spider get to the hospital and tell them what you think bit you. Tell the medical professionals what you are feeling.

Easy Ways To Get Rid Of Spiders

The best way to prevent spiders from getting into your house is some simple prevention. If bushes or trees touch your house then trim them way back so the spiders will have a harder time getting into your house. Caulk all the cracks and crevices around the outside of your home. Use a strong soapy solution and wash down the outside of your home well especially if you know it is soon going to be turning cold outside. Be sure to wash down all your porches and steps.

A Brown Recluse Spider Is About The Size Of A Penny. The above picture is much larger than a brown recluse spider really is.


If you have a lot of cardboard boxes around your home get rid of the boxes. Spiders love cardboard boxes. Spiders like your kitchen and bathrooms because there is a ready water source and spiders need water to survive. If you have leaking faucets get them fixed.

Spiders need insects to survive because insects are what they live on. All spiders are meat eaters so they must have insects to survive. The fewer insects that your home has the fewer spiders you should have.

Here is a brown recluse bite. Brown Recluse bites can cause tissue death where they bite. If you receive a brown recluse bite seek medical attention as soon as possible.


Beware of places with lots of clutter, sheds, crawl spaces and wood piles. All of these are places where brown recluse and black widow spiders like to hide. If you must work in areas where there are a lot of spiders wear long pants tucked into your boots and long sleeve shirts tucked into gloves. You can wash down your wood pile with a strong soapy solution to get rid of spiders around it. keep in mind that most spiders only bite humans when they feel they are in danger or when they are mashed. Remember to shake out all your clothing including shoes and socks.

How Do You Get Rid Of Hobo Spiders

This is a sticky spider trap from a home in Idaho. If you use these sticky spider traps you may be shocked at how many spiders you catch.
Hobo Spiders are also known in some areas as aggressive house spiders. The best way to eliminate these spiders is to eliminate their food source. If you live in an area where their is a high concentration of Hobo Spiders I would suggest pressure washing the outside of your home with a strong soapy solution every year just before you know the weather is going to turn colder. You can put the sticky spider traps down that trap spiders in outdoor utility rooms, in crawl spaces and in attics. Remember to check them and if you have caught a lot of spiders repeat with fresh sticky spider traps. If you find your home is full of spiders you may want to contact a professional pest exterminator.

It is amazing that the Hobo Spider has not spread to more of the United States than the Pacific Northwest. They have been found in other areas of the United States but this was probably people accidentally moving the Hobo Spiders in packing boxes. Be warned that the Hobo Spider loves cardboard. They love firewood piles and will invest them. Use gloves with long sleeves tucked into the gloves to shake firewood off. You can spray your firewood often with a strong soapy solution to get rid of Hobo Spiders.

The Black Widow Spider

Black Widow Spiders Are Identified By Their Red Hour Glass Shape On Their Black Bodies
Fortunately deaths from Black Widow Spider Bites are fairly rare with most deaths occurring when small children, the elderly, and people with low immune systems are bitten by the spider. The female black widow spider quite often kills and eats her mate after she mates with him. The Black Widow Spider usually only bites when they are crushed. Every year many people a year are bitten carrying in firewood.

The female Black Widow Spider spins a large web and she hangs her cocoon containing hundreds of eggs in her web. The baby Black Widow Spiders leave soon after they hatch but the web remains. Black Widow Spiders also use their webs to ensnare their prey which is insects of all types.

One reason the Black Widow Spiders bite is so feared is because scientists say that the venom of the Black Widow Spider is 15 times more powerful than the rattlesnake.

The Hobo Spider

The Hobo Spider belongs to the type of spiders known as Funnel Web Spiders. One of the worst of the funnel web spiders is the Australian Funnel Web Spider. Hobo Spiders build their funnel shaped webs outdoors near human habitation and this is where the problem is.

Here is a female Hobo Spider. The Hobo Spider builds funnel shape webs and they wait at the bottom of the webs for their insect prey to fall into the webs.


Hobo Spiders usually bite people when the spider comes indoors or gets picked up with firewood and carried into the house. If you live where Hobo Spiders occur you need to be sure to shake out all your clothing including socks and shoes. If you accidentally crush or squeeze a Hobo Spider it may very well bite you and the bite of a Hobo Spider can  kill you. It can also cause tissue death in the area where it bites you. 

The Hobo Spider was not originally native to the United States. The spider was first accidentally introduced to the Pacific Northwest from Western Europe in the 1930's. Two other similar spiders also live in the same area as the Hobo Spider. They are the Giant House Spider and the barn funnel weaving spider. Both of these spiders were also introduced to the area from western Europe.

Here is a photo of the Giant House Spider. The bite of the Giant House Spider is not dangerous to Humans or Pets.
