Black Widows And Brown Widows

We have a really bad spider problem. Really bad. I have never seen a house have so many spiders. We are having some professionals come spray our house on this next Tuesday, but they told us they won't spray outside furniture, toys, etc. So I went out on Thursday to clean out all of our Patio furniture and toys to rid of the spider infestation. I never really paid particular attention to the nasty spiders outside, until the Spider guy told me Black & Brown widows are a big problem here. However, once he told me this I paid attention. I killed 15+ Brown Widows, and 3 Black Widow spiders that day. I didn't even know Brown Widows existed, but they do. They look just like Black widows, but are brown (obviously) but still have the orange hour glass thing on their tummies. 15+ brown & 3 black widows in my patio furniture!!! I freaked. I took pictures of some, smashed and bagged some others to provide to Craig for proof of the seriousness of our spider problem. The next day, we killed 4 Black Widows and 2 Brown widows. One of the Black Widows was in Cole's trike.....FREAKY. I took a picture of the Black widow because I didn't know what it was at first because they are all "immature" black widows. Immature black widows have these ornate markings on their backs and lose them when they age.

This is an "immature" black widow. Freaky looking thing. I took a picture of it before I smashed it. They lose their ornate markings when they are full grown. But this spider was pretty dang big.

Brown Widow... Can you see the hour glass?
