Thanks! Would you happen to know if they need a web to be fed?

They don’t need a web to be fed, they wander around and hunt what they encounter

Well it appears one of these ended up on one of my sticky traps.

I don't like using them but my apartment is infested with gnats and other things that come from the baseboards and what not. I am not deliberately going after spiders (I always catch and relocate the ones I see) and in fact I rarely see any on them. This was just a case of bad luck. Seems to be the theme of the week.

Oh yeah, never meant you intended to catch it, just sad it was caught. Nothing against trying to kill off pests.

There are other ways to catch the unwanted critters like fruit in a water bottle trap. They go in but can't escape.

It's never ending. They breed in the basement of the property by the billions and seep out through the walls and baseboards.

If those greedy contractors would've at least put a bug barrier when the built the foundation.
