Down at the bottom, in the drain hole. The plant needs to be put into a larger pot, but I'm scared to do it! Any suggestions?

get a 5 gallon bucket and fill it with enough water to come up to the top of the pot. Put on leather gloves and carefully place the pot in the water. Leave it in there for a while. The water will either drown it or force him to come to the surface.

1. I've been bitten by a widow... The good news is that it won't kill you. The bad news is that it'll hurt like hell and you'll need to go to the doctor for Prednasone and antibiotics.
2. If you can see him, you can spray him. Get the strongest Raid or other insecticide you can find and kill him. When you replant - put Triazicide in the mixture to kill off any offspring that might exist. Keep an eye out for the little ones.
or
3. Seal the plant in a plastic bag then dump it in the trash. Take $50 out of the bank and go shopping for a new plant...

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).

Buy some cheap boric acid powder at the drug store. Set the pot down on top of a pile of the powder so that the spider has to touch or move through it. The powder will slowly kill the spider (not immediately, but it will be a "goner").

Smooshing spiders works well. To be on the safe side, wear latex gloves while working with this plant. The spiders jaws are not big enough to bite through latex, which will be a blessing if you encounter spiders you didn't know were there.

If you don't want alot of black widow spiders in your plant pot, I suggest you spray with some insectide and kill it.

Spray with a little "House and Garden" spray. Then kill the spider and proceed with your work.
