..heebie jeebies for a few days and spray raid in the area but i never find more than one. I found one crawling in my grass once..i think it dropped from the lawnmower i had just dragged out of the shed. I relocated the spider to the trash bin (alive in tp) and the set off a bug bomb in the shed. I hate doing that because beneficial insects are caught up in the smog. Next day i opened the lid to the trash bin and spidey had crawled to the top and had spun a web already.... I closed the lid and rolled it to the corner for the trash guy to dump.
