Signs you have them
- A big orb web with a zig-zag stripe
- Brown, papery egg sacs in fall
Why it matters
Very low. They bite only if held, and mostly catch garden pests.
How we treat it
We usually leave them alone in garden beds. When webs block walkways, doors, or eaves, we knock them down during treatment.
Prevention
- Leave them in the garden if they're out of the way
