<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Hi Fiona,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Many spider species wander far and wide in search of prey, and especially so during the autumn when they look for somewhere to spend the winter. I would be less worried about potential pest populations (you would pick
most of them up in your pest monitors) but building defects: the spiders are entering the building through cracks, gaps, broken window panes and gaps underneath exterior doors. These, in turn, can cause other problems: damp and cold spots, leading to localised
mould problems; the fact that you have booklice hints that there may be a mould problem somewhere, because booklice feed on mould.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Besides, whilst spiders may appear to be welcome because they could prey on pests, eventually the spiders themselves will die somewhere in a corner and then provide a lovely snack for something else – perhaps a little
stop over for a woolly bear to give it enough energy to make it into your taxidermy collection. Anthrenus and Reesa larvae love the abdomens of large spiders.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">I would check the integrity of the building envelope if I had large numbers of spiders entering the building.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">Is there such a thing as too many spiders in collections storage areas? We have recently had a noticeable bump in spider populations in our storage. no signs of collections pests in the traps, except booklice.
Should we be worried? Would it mean we may have a bump in spider prey? I am glad they are around to eat insects, but they seem to be getting much more numerous and physically large….<o:p></o:p></p>
