This has nothing to do with Real Estate. 

I have lived in Utah for over 2 years and before that off and on.  I have always heard of Black Widows but have never seen one.  So I always "thought" they existed but never really Believed they existed until Sunday night!  My husband was letting our dogs out and yelled to me to "come look at this huge black spider"  OK a bit silly for him to tell me to come look-I am terrified of them, but I had to see.  My husband says to me, I don't think it a black widow but its huge!  Wrong he was.  The spider was hanging for its web and turned to expose its belly and there was that famous marking!  We both jumped back about 2 feet!  I ran back inside to grab a shoe and gave it to my husband to kill.  Yes, sorry all you spider lovers, but we squished it.  Most any other insect/animal I hate to kill but not spiders.  Yuk!  Anyway if you really didn't think they existed-they do!  I am just glad that my dogs didn't get bit-she was sooo close or my husband or myself.

Scary stuff. A friend of mine is a "Bug Guy" and found some brown recluse spider in a school warehouse!  FYI.. brown recluse makes a black widow seem like a cold. 

Moral of the story... find em and kill em when they are around people

have never heard of any one bitten by a black widow but my son was bitten by a brown recluse that made him so sick and left a scar on his leg from the bite.
