Does anyone have a good solution for spiders other than having to
reshuffle equipment more often than is sometimes possible and vacuum
them away? 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
from the droppings and remains of what was caught in the webs.
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.
