Re: black widows

Mitch,

I lived in Riverside for over 50 years, and back around the late 70's I  
began to see them, mostly in some wood I had stacked for the fireplace. I 
tried  several things, and nothing worked but malathion. It got them. I'm now in 
Paso  Robles and I haven't seen them here.

Any  suggestions for getting rid of Black widows? Are there any  natural
predators? I'm in the suburbs of San Diego and recently I've seen a  bunch 
in
my yard. I've got kids at home that like to roam my garden and  pick and eat
fruit and I don't want them to get bitten, but I also don't  want to spray
any hard core chemicals if I can help it.  

Thanks
