One or two little spiders here and there don't seem to be much of a problem, but, there are spiders here in my basement that are about an inch of so in diameter that seem to like areas where there's light - e.g. in rafters near lightbulbs (but some still nest in other places), and they tend to have lots of little spiders (like hundreds hatching per web (nest sacks are between 1/4" and 1/2 in diameter". 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 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. -- Copyright (C) 2000 R. D.
