Well, no. I don't feel better at all actually...we get them weaving their webs where ever the like, typically between a tree and the house. I would say cutting back the tree might help but they really do go to great lengths.

Mostly during the summer we'll have one go between the magnolia and the house. Which is a good 15 foot span, one night I watched him build it and it's pretty amazing to watch. The problem is that span covers our main walk way and we have to watch out or get tangled up in it. It's creepy. This one in the back yard is as I said the second one of this size in a week that I have had to pull down. I Went out there again before I went to work this morning and he wasn't dead - probably pissed - but not dead. I saw him up in the tree. This is the kind of spider that if you tried to step on it - it would push back.

Yeah. Gross. When they are big enough to have "guts" I get pretty grossed out.
