They took over my yard last summer. Even my weather station got the anemometer so wrapped up in Joro webs that it couldn't move anymore. Any part of the yard I hadn't been in for more than a couple of days, I'd carry a stick to clear the way. I felt bad for delivery drivers because houses like mine with a breezeway to the front door were guaranteed to have several Joro webs at body level. If I had a delivery scheduled, I'd go out in the morning and clear a path. Hopefully birds will take a liking to the spiders and their numbers will be kept in check. Combine this with the newly arrived kudzu beetles that are reducing the biomass of kudzu, Georgia and surrounding states are in for a good bit of change this decade.

I try to leave the webs intact, but I guess I'd feel differently if my yard went "Kingdom of the Spiders" like yours did.
