I've killed a few around my property. Any time I see a thick web on a dilapidated/broken down car I want to throw a molotov cocktail right at it. They should all burn. I have a friend who works in a warehouse and he's had to kill dozens as they will be on his forklift or hiding everywhere he needs to be. Skin crawling for sure.
But the worst?
Worst sighting for me was in Washington. A little Creek/Park/Natural Falls a group of friends out for a nice walk. Walking on a steel grated bridge, and I look just past where my feet were. I think thousands doesn't quite cover how many black widows I see below in massive webs. Arachnophobia hit hard, then I saw a bird in the web that must have been dead for days... I proceeded to stop walking on the grated part of the bridge and just scan/stare at the entire area. The grates ran probably 1/4 of a mile, you could not count how many there were. You'd see probably 5-10 within a foot area, but because the bridge was suspended above more than 30 feet, and it wasn't open to any rushing water it looked like they went all the way down to just above the ground. FUUUUUUUUUUU. That made my skin crawl more than anything.
