It's not much fun to suddenly find one's basement or garage infested with spiders, particularlyt he kind the bite or have webs so strong that when one pulls circuit boards apart one hears a ripping sound from the spider webbing coming apart. Not sure what kind I've got that are a bit of a nuisance; they seem to like heat, and will have stringy webs with lots of baby sipders on them around lit lightbulbs and the furnace... the webs are either just a single line hanging down from a rafter to something else, or a bunch iw thick webbing in a small area with lots of little spiders in it; the occasionally seen bigger spiders that are found near the webbing are, including legs, about an inch or so in diameter, with a large, bulb-like, dark brown sack. I've had my ankles bitten through socks on occasion; the adults seem to like recessed areas, the insides of garage doors and basement walls. Just when I think the vacuum cleaner has gotten them all, there are more webs. -- Copyright (C) 2001 R. D.
