Black widow?

Hello!

Recently moved here and I keep seeing these spiders everywhere.

Why are they everywhere?

Is there a way to get rid of them?

Are they harmful at all?

I've never had as many spiders in my house as I've had the past few months of living in CLE (and I've moved around and lived in a lot of different houses/places/climates)

Edit: for size reference, these spiders could sit on a coin. I've seen some quarter-sized, others are dime-sized.

It’s not what I think is it?

Can someone please help me identify this beautiful spider. TIA

Wife just sent me this picture. Please help identify cause she's trying to convince me to burn the yard down!! 🤣

Northern Italy, garden. Approximately 1cm. Likes to stroll around

Okay, I’m obsessed with her now. She needs a name.

Dallas, Texas

Found these two spiders in the shed and are curious what they are, especially the bulbous one!

Probably 1.5 cm long? he had big ol fangs too. Hope his buddies aren’t about.

Decided to start clearing a very "naturalised" area of the garden and this fella (lady) came to advise me on my work...About an inch leg span

Found it crawling on my wall and thought it looked peculiar, would love it if someone could help identify it :)

Edit: just realized UK is a bit too broad, to be more specific it was found in Keele, England

this cutie was cleaning him/herself in these pics, very small and very adorable. i don't have a solid idea. maybe a false widow?
