Has anyone seen any? I have not and we were covered up with them the last few years. I wonder if that hard 4-degree cold snap killed them, I hope it did.

Joro Spiders
- Thread starter Treehawk

I’ve seen plenty up here on Hartwell…they don’t come out in numbers until around October though. They’re not dead and they’re not going away…they are here to stay.
I don't understand the hate for Joro's or spiders in general. The more there are then the less flying insects there will be.
Joros took over the woods and lake area behind my house in Gwinnett last year, they were all over the place. In our garden, pool areas, bushes, etc. We used to have the cool garden spiders before them, but the joros pretty much took over and we didn't see anymore. The joros grow really large too.
It sucked trying to drive our buggies or atvs in the trails to the lake because of their webs. The webs are really strong and messy looking. No patterns.
But that was last year and I no longer live there, moved to Europe now. Haven't seen any joros over here so far.

I feel the same about snakes keeping mice and rats in check…I see snakes but never any rodents so snakes are welcome here. If I ever see an appreciable decline in the number number of flies, gnats and mosquitoes then I’ll gladly sing the praises of these spiders…until then, they’re just another nuisance.
The hate for me is that there are thousands of them at my house and the build their webs at face level, can't walk around the yard without a face full of web.
2021 I had plenty. Last year none. Haven’t seen any this year.
