Akio Shiraishi and Katsumi Okada, pest controllers with Facilities, inspect gutters where black widow spiders are usually found aboard Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan, May 8, 2015. Throughout a two-month span, pest controllers examine everywhere from the outside of homes to the gutters in the streets aboard station. While searching for black widows the pest controllers also inspect for roaches, ants, bees and moths; of all the pests, cockroaches are the ones encountered most, but black widow spiders are the most dangerous.
