I understand now why you need a veritable arsenal of brushes to deal with it. Are you ever worried about disturbing spiders that may be dangerous?
Well we've also got an arsenal of bug sprays dotted around the house, and even some in the shed. I also periodically use a barrier spray around the doors and windows, so any nastys can be sprayed to oblivion.
It's somewhat strange though as the amount of cobwebs observed is far greater than the number of spiders we see so they must either be good at hiding or move on quickly.
AFAIK the really most dangerous ones are pretty much ground dwelling and spin fairly crappy webs but I do worry about it a little bit.
I figure if I remove the webs the spiders are less likely to claim a little niche, although I'm not sure if that's really true or not.
