Certain kinds of wasps, that often build their mud nests (they look like half cylindrical lumps of clay stuck to nearly anything, usually inside machines and such) are natural enemies of black widow spiders. They catch the young, paralyze and encase them in their mud nests and feed them to their own young at hatching time. They are your friends!
