Brown Widow. My porch used to get up to 2 dozen a night, but I sprayed with some stuff the OB recommended and they mostly vanished.

That’s exactly what it is! Thank you both for helping identify it.

What was the product you sprayed? I’m very interested.

I use Ortho Home defense from Home Depot; it kills everything for about 3 months. Just spray anywhere where the wall meets floor/ceiling, and in crevices, possible entry points etc. Could also use something like Talstar I guess, but that’s way overkill IMO.

Is it not a wonderful thing that spiders can't fly?
