    The problem with people thinking like that is the spiders are only gonna stay if the food source is abundant.

    Aka you got a lot more bugs than you think if there are spiders chilling everywhere.

      If I had a massive spider infestation, yeah, I’d want to investigate. But fruit flies and mosquitoes come and go often enough anyway. Presumably enough to sustain one or two spiders.

      Had a bit of a gnat (I guess?) problem last summer because they’re small enough to get through my window screens. Made me crazy, but even then I don’t think they were actually nesting in my home.
