They are in their 20s and not afraid of ladders :-)
They started doing my windows 2 years ago and they make a point of knocking down all the spider webs when they get up high on the ladders. The result has been a reduction of about 90% in the number of spiders I see in my house. A friend who used to work for a pest control company confirmed to me that physical removal of spider webs is the best and most effective way to deal with these creatures.

Yeah, well I guess I should consider myself lucky that the little shit just bit me and didn't lay eggs in my ear.
