An oil & lube business found one black widow near the right rear tire, and three in the engine. They said the engine was covered with webs though, so there may have been more. They said they'd never seen so many black widows in on vehicle. One worker likened it to "Arachnophobia." They wouldn't work on the engine due to the potential safety risk. They recommended having a pest control company treat the truck. My husband says he can do it. (I hope this isn't dangerous.)
The truck has also had a wasp nest in it (with live wasp larve), which my sister found and disposed of. It was in the passenger door.
The truck is parked in a city driveway, and driven once a week. It's been driven about 400 miles in the last eight months. It's a 1990 Chevy with 72,000 miles on the original engine--all service done on time, of course. No, I'm not trying to sell it--ha ha!
