I live in an area with Joros. I don't mind spiders at all. But these joros are a pest. They take over literally everything. They will cover all your porches, trees, etc. with their webs. Their webs are massive, multi-layered, and tough.

I don't usually kill spiders or take down their webs, but I kill these guys and remove their webs whenever they build near my house. It's futile, but I do it anyway.

This article seem to say they're harmless. But I have heard reports of them harming local hummingbird population and driving local spiders out.

My neighborhood also has a spider problem, and I always wonder how futile this sort of thing is? Can you ever make a significant difference when exterminating individual pest insects?
