There’s a spring nearby so the local treefrogs and anoles eat everything smaller than a mouse. The only spiders that survive are aforementioned orb weavers and I think they spend more time trying to catch me, as I’m taking out the garbage and barely awake, than eating insects.
Every one of these I find inside gets relocated to the garden… unless its winter, then they get a tour of the potted plants.

Nothing worse than walking out in the middle of the night with the dog and getting a face full of orb Weaver web…
I broom handle that I keep near my trash bins specifically for trailblazing down the driveway.
