    Widows tend to hang out closer to the ground. I wouldn’t worry much about the rafters.

    Darker crevices, debris piles, larger leaning items that go undisturbed for a while.

      There are some at ground level when I walk out into the garage. Is it possible to vacuum them up? I really don’t want to touch them, or bat at them with a broom. I feel like if I do that, they’ll hit the ground and charge at me, or crawl up the broom.

        Vacuuming them probably won’t kill them.

        You’ll instead have now-malevolent angry spiders in your vacuum-cleaner.

        I happen to consider that to be a Bad Idea…
