Agreed. I apparently let two black widows on my porch get pretty big
before my husband pointed out what they were.

I was still in favor of leaving them be ... but was convinced
otherwise. I'm still not sure it was the right decision.


Black widows breed. Leave the two alone, soon you'll have 200. Why
take chances? It's one thing with wasps or bees, which -- unless
you're allergic, or they're Africanized bees -- are going to be just
an annoyance, but with things that are venomous enough to seriously
injure or kill, it's just plain crazy to leave them to breed in/on
your place of residence.

I have wasps with nests in the siding on my porch again. We don't
bother each other.
