*shudder* Years ago I found at least a half dozen black widows under my children's wading pool! They were nesting under the rim of it that if I recall correctly went all the way to ground level. But there were holes in the plastic. I thought I was going to die when I flipped that pool over and kept finding another web with a black widow in it.
It's been years since I saw any in the back yard but if we found them (other than the pool) we'd always find them in the vegetable garden. I wonder if the chickens and ducks finally eradicated them?
