There are ample recluse spiders in our area, and plenty of other ones as well.

After urgent moving to Stella I have done my part to keep the house clean of these widows, especially because we have small kids. Others are welcome.

But ... One brown widow took up residence in a high and remote corner of the garage and I left her there because there is no harm in her being there.

I told myself the "lease agreement" will expire as soon as the first egg sack appears, which happened this morning.

What now? I do not want to doom her after carefully observing her development over the last six months.
