Thanks Joel! A good read with a title, as usual, that makes the reader think the worst. Fantastic that they go on the discuss the minimal danger they actually pose in addition to the effect of the pandemic on populations of spiders (and other pests) in unoccupied or lightly occupied buildings.
I know many reading this have been seeing upticks in pests in their institutions that are sans people and, sadly, sans IPM. Best, Matt Matthew A.
