Dunno where you live Silver but currently in the UK there is an official epidemic of spiders as the summer has been “perfect” for their growth.

Very hot and arid for long periods with sudden brief periods of heavy rain.
Plenty of food (flies and other smaller insects).

Yup, officially the year of the spider here in the UK. I do have a phobia of spiders (my father was bitten by one when I was very young, saw it all = later life phobia) but it isn’t too bad as long as they’re not in the house too much.

Besides the wife deals with it when they are.

They’re getting less and less now as the weather gets colder though.
