That's why I don't clean all the webs on my front porch, totally not because I'm lazy. Whenever I get unsolicited visits from pest control companies, I see their eyes roaming around my front porch as they do their sales pitch, excited to point out all the "pests" in my house.

Of course a pest control salesman would look at natural pest control as a pest.

We get those folks sometimes. I'm always like "what pests? we have no pest problems. go away."

I don't take them down in nature unless they're blocking the trail. I twirl them up on a twig and yeet 'em to the side. A face full of 4"-wide banana spider female is just too much.

Didn't remove one last week because I could duck a little. Guess who forgot to duck on the way back. Take a wild guess.

I got a face full of web recently because I wasn't paying attention and it was dark. Didn't get mad, it was my fault, even said I was sorry to the spider who jumped away. But it takes a bit to get over that feeling.

Was it Batman? I hear he's blind as Ray Charles.

I didn't know Ray Charles had sonar...
