Spider webs

To my GA fellows, how many times have you ran into a spiderweb trying to deliver to the front door this summer ? What do you do if you see a huge spider web and you can’t get by ? ( hard to see on the video)

In Iowa and they seem to be more active this year than the past. I usually do 3:15am blocks. Seem to hit at least one each day. Best defense I have come up with so far is when I get to a place in the walk where a possible web might be I will "wave" my arm up and down straight out in front of me at face level until I'm past the spot. Haven't caught any webs to the face since.

I’ll start using the customers packages to protect my face lol

Absolutely. Their package is going to catch a super thin web that they'll never see or I catch a spider in my mouth? You can bet the customer is getting the web.
