Hi I have a female orb spider who has made my house her home. She has been here for over a month and not been a bother. I see now that she has an egg sac. Should I worry about how many spiders she will have?? will they be dangerous to
children or pets? Thanks!

Expert Response
Thanks for the question. These spiders will not cause problems with kids or pest. Most, if not all, of the offspring will move to another location. I rarely see more than 1 at any location and I cannot remember a time I have seen more than 3.
