      I left a few, very tiny, jumping spider webs around my kitchen light. Saw one nail a bug and drag it behind a picture in the bathroom!

      i remove them from walkways but not windows. i have a deal with the spiders: 1: stay out of my bathroom and 2: don’t jump at me ever when i’m naked, and then the spiders may live and eat the bugs i can’t see.

        Well that’s because they don’t like you! You’re not well liked in the spider community. You wouldn’t like it if some astroid fell down and destroyed your home, and took away all your food.

        So now spiders don’t invite you to their raves, and Spiderman won’t save you. And he’ll even save J Jonah Jameson. Admittedly begrudgingly so.

            Oh wow. What did they do to upset the spiders that much?

            My name is Inigo “Bogan” Montoya, the spider…

            You killed my brother, prepare to die…

      I remove cobwebs. The cellar spiders make them then leave as I understand it.

      I was fiercely guarding an orb weavers web for a while on my patio, she was beautiful. It’s gone now and I doing know where she moved.

      I take down the dusty old ones that aren’t useful anymore. Especially if they are all full of bug remains. I call those the “pizzas boxes” and gently criticize my ceiling spiders for not minding their messes as I tidy up and make space for fresh, clean, sticky webs.
