The technique is to use fine surgical sponge (actually sponge) and cause the spider to bite (we use electric stimulation), then dessicate or dry the sponge in a vacuum chamber. Then we rehydrate the sponge and remove the the water (we use sterile water or saline), this is then again dessicate and the remaining micrograms constitutes your venom. The resultant amount is very very small and it takes thousands of spiders to yield a few milligrams.

If you have to ask. That is something you should leave to the experts. This also means keeping this type of animal.
Why do you need to milk black widows? What is your purpose?
