Photo of Black Widow infestation?!

I\'ve seen several concerning spiders in our house (probably 1 every 1-2 weeks), and I\'ve killed them frequently. I snapped photos on a few different occasions. We saw a certain female black widow a few months ago, in the middle of the day, walking right across the carpet toward my wife (she moved when it was bout 6 inches from her leg!).

Then, I started noticing all these other spiders. We\'ve had our ground-floor apartment sprayed every 1-2 weeks now, and we still see them pretty frequently, particularly if we go longer than a week or so without spraying. I\'m concerned because I have a 2-year-old another on the way.

ANYONE KNOW WHAT THESE ARE? I think the Left and the Right are false widows (hopefully) and the middle one is a male black widow?!
