Africa is a famous place for a black widow spider there poisons can kill in minutes as the poisons are made for protecting eggs itself and killing prey twice its size
a female Black Widow Spider has a hourglass on its stomach
while male has grey hairs running down its back the female spider is bigger than the the male one
EGGS
After mating a black widow spider will eat the male mating produces eggs and the female spider’s stomach would have swelled twice its in the next two weeks
a black widow spider can only have 2,4 and 6 eyes while other spiders can have 2,4,6 and eight

I have just killed two black widow spiders in an outside storeroom, they were in a web with their eggs, is this an indication that there are a few more around, I still have two outside rooms to clear out, should I rather fumigate or what, can anyone suggest anything
Thanks

Personally I would suggest getting a professional in to do the job black widow spiders are extremely dangerous and mate with more than one male spider which means there could be lots of juvenile black widow spiders, many professional exterminators usually fumigate the area, if it is not dealt with properly than there could be an indication that the spiders could come back.
