I had to suspend my catch and release program for spiders when I had eggs hatch in here earlier this year. First noticed what looked like fuzz floating by, looked closer and realized it was a spiderling. Spent two nights going around my place with my ladder, stopping every meter or so to kill every spider in reach before moving on. Killed a bit over 100 spiders, was worried that I had only scratched the surface and would be finding tons more but instead I only saw like 3 more after that.
My cat was my hero for those
She was licking the baseboards and I was very confused, then I saw a couple of baby spiders running away so I killed the stragglers.
