I am usually ok with spiders, but not this one. Do I need to worry about more of them and what do you do to convince them not to bring their friends and family to the party?

:scared:

1. These guys suggest you not worry
just wear long sleeves and gloves at the woodpile: http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7442.html

2. Used to have nests of them under the sinks when I went to college. Everybody was, like,
meh! leave em alone and they'll leave you alone! So we left em alone. I guess most people would poison em indoors

I think they're a danger to small kids, but generally they're not really very aggressive

Look up the habitat and try to avoid creating habitat where you dislike it
