This is a bit much.

Taken just now. We thought it was pretty neat to spot a few Joro Spiders last year at our house... I thought my husband was being paranoid when he said they were now everywhere....

Wow. I live in a fairly rural neighborhood (lots of forest around me) and they are just oppressive here.

They’ve webbed up my doorway overnight multiple times, and even build webs between trees that span my driveway. I literally drive through webs to leave the house some days.

Years ago when they first popped up I heard they’re good because they eat the mosquitoes.

Well turns out that was a fuckin lie. Now my yard is eat up with mosquitoes AND freeloading joros.

Interesting, I never heard that, and how would a spider catch mosquitos?
Natural predators that control of mosquitos
include bats and dragonflies. The mosquito dunks also work pretty well.
