Signs you have them
- Webs several feet across between trees
- Webs strung across trails and garden paths
Why it matters
They rarely bite. They're mostly a startle when you walk into a web.
How we treat it
We clear webs from the house, eaves, and walkways during service. In wooded yards, a regular exterior treatment keeps them from building on the house.
Prevention
- Walk trails with a stick in front of you in late summer
- Trim shrubs away from doors
