Am I the only one with a bunch of Black Widow Spiders making a permanent home under my truck?

where you located? here in central washington we seem to have an increase in spiders and there venom is stronger. Several bites to dogs have sent them to the vets. and hearing more of people bites..Most people felt the long cold winter we had would reduce the bug population. But again I guess the spiders are an exception..

Sacramento Ca , so Northern CA...anyways, People say black widows only like damp places, thats hogwash. They love it under the eves of the house, and when I took a stroll with the wife and the baby one night they made a web from a brick trellace surrounding someones from yard to the street gutter... I think I'm going to spray the underneath of my truck with something that kills them, but I have heard there isn't anything, but I will see..

I really like the tarp idea with a fogger...

Just a couple of days ago I found a spider in my door jam, a small brown one. I was actually in the town of Davis at the time, so maybe that whole area has a problem with spiders attacking f-250s???
