BL webs are very easy to spot. Unlike the attractive symmetrical webs most garden spiders make the BL web looks like something out of a Wes Craven flick. Random strands of VERY resiliant web silk. If you take a stick to the web you can actually feel the tension as you pull the web apart. The BL comes out just after dark so before bedtime is the best BL hunting. During the day they fold up and hide someplace dark but still in/near the web. I have found that a shot of brake cleaner usually encourages them out of hiding where they can be easily dispatched with a stick.
