Does anyone have a good solution for spiders other than
having to
reshuffle equipment more often than is sometimes possible and vacuum
Insecticide will slow them down, but they are eating other bugs.
The webbing can get so think that I once heard a
ripping sound when I
pulled some circuit boards apart. These spiders can make quite a mess
from the droppings and remains of what was caught in the webs.
Jeepers, why did I suggest packaging stuff to protect it from things like
that?
I never noticed these until the past several years, and
am guessing
that I may have brought them in with some computer equipment, so, be
careful when collecting. Collecting in the summer seems to work out
best, when equipment can be _thoroughly_ disassembled and cleaned
outdoors and then brought inside.
They found a good place to hid and did. Likely they were there but
now there are more places to hide and maybe other bugs to eat so
they are being fruitful, multiplying and also making a mess.

Spiders follows those bugs where they goes. Make that areas
unfriendly to all bugs and both spiders and bugs will bother to find
another suitable shelters everywhere else. This don't have to be
chemcials to do so. Elimate the food & water sources also denying
point of entries are enough. Just a trace is *PLENTY* for number of
bugs to live on. Good one I ever heard of that hardy survival time
when one trapped a live roach walking across window w/ clear 2" tape
on glass pane. Left there. Lasted few weeks, no food, no water.
Last year inside the bus stop shelter, I saw *perfect* little round
spots everywhere in clusters (appox 2mm to 4mm) on all horizontal
surfaces mostly near corners and didn't know what they're are coming
from till I looked up and made the 2 and 2 added up.
Webs =
spider! All spiders survives by sucking up liquidifed guts by
injected verom. Digested remains comes out in liquid too in
evidence of dots.

Right.
