how do i get rid of black widow spiders, naturally? Black widow infestation?

Please help me!

Dozens of black widows have invaded my backyard. I'm scared of the spiders, but I also have a four year old.

Is there a natural way to get rid of these spiders, and keep them away? I would like to avoid pesticides, but I will use them if I must.

    First things first, clean the surrounding areas that are easily infested. spiders usually like places where are dark and dirty so clean them up. next use pesticide if not working. lights attract spiders at night so when they come close, kill em. in any way you like. so you have to close the doors properly or else they come in and poison you which is very lethal. it could kill you. so be very careful.

    Black widow spiders are very dangerous and with one bite can kill with a couple of seconds. Even though they are small they hurt and you will soon be on the floor dead, so the best thing to do is either leave it alone and let it do what it wants, it might go away once the baby is born and just don't open your window or you call an expert on spiders and see if he/ she can clear it. They are more dangerous than a camel spider ( they bite you, your paralysed and they eat your skin).

    I dont think there is a natural way to be honest. When I want to get rid of spiders I just use a tin of hairspray and a match. ;op
