They do come into the house sometimes, but not often. They prefer unheated areas like the basement or garage, or outdoors. They are venomous but not aggressive. Where I live, everybody has them, and nobody worries too much. If it's in the house, though, I'd kill it.

No, i never find black inside my house before coz my house is very clean and i washed my toilet daily.
If u want to noe more about black widow. Just nid to read the information before.(i hope to get the best answer)
SIZE: About 1 1/2 inches (38mm) long, 1/4 inch (6.4mm) in diameter
COLOR: Usually shiny black
DESCRIPTION: The female is usually black with a red spot or hourglass- shaped mark on its round abdomen. The male usually has light streaks on its abdomen.
HABITAT: Black widow spiders are common around wood piles, and are frequently encountered when homeowners carry firewood into the house. Also found under eaves, in boxes, outdoor toilets, meter boxes, and other unbothered places.
LIFE CYCLE: Egg sacs are brown, papery, about ½ inch long and oval. They hold from 25 to 900 or more eggs, which have an incubation period of 20 days. Growth requires two to three months, with older females dying in autumn after egg laying.
TYPE OF DAMAGE: The black widow is not aggressive. It will, however, bite instinctively when touched or pressed.
CONTROL: Be very careful when working around areas where black widow spiders may be established. Take proper precautions-wear gloves and pay attention to where you are working. Black widow bites are sharp and painful, and the victim should go to the doctor immediately for treatment. To control the black widow, carefully remove all materials where they might hide. They can be cleaned out of an area simply by knocking down the webs, spiders, and round tan egg sacs with a stick and crushing them underfoot.
INTERESTING FACTS: The female eats the male after mating. She hangs belly upward and rarely leaves the web.

Yes! you can find black widows inside your house. They usually disperse after hatching by balloning. A process in which they use their silk to fly away. Becareful, black widows are not very aggressive, but their bite packs quite a punch. People who been bitten say it's the most painful experience in their life. Only the females have the hour glass in their body and are the only poisonous ones to humans.

Black widow spiders are poisonous. I would not leave them in the house. I have killed several in various houses I have lived in.
Black widows are shiny black with rounded abdomens (as opposed to flat and hairy), and they have a red or orange marking on their belly (generally an hourglass).
The web of the black widow is not neat and regular, but erratic. They like cool dark places, slightly damp.

Black Widows are not deadly and they kill other bugs - which is a good thing.
Unless you have an irrational fear and will not be able to sleep or something, you shouldn't kill it. Chances are it will not bite you. And if it does, worst case scenario you will get a little swollen bump for a couple of days.
