    Not sure why someone would downvote you for this. Spiders are territorial and will cannibalize each other if they’re unable to spread far enough apart. They’ll never reach the insane population densities of social insects like ants or termites.

      I’m quite okay with spiders as long as they stay …over there….

      Interestingly, they’re also smart enough to recognize this arrangement. They don’t bother me. I don’t bother them. Wonderful roommates, really.

      (Also, for people wondering how to get rid of ants… clean your house. They’re coming in because they find food and shelter. Get rid of the food and they’re less inclined to stick around. Same for flies. Especially house flies. Though there’s always going to be some fruit flies- they come in with the fruit.)
