I knocked down three Joro webs and killed two spiders. They were in my way, so they simply had to go.
The silk is very strong, stronger than I anticipated. Instead of just waving a broom at the web and easily sweeping it away, I had to sort of hack at it.
I might have gone on to take down a few more webs, but I got the willies something fierce, so I had to stop. You can't fight the willies, man.
I watched a male Joro groom his female mate. Or that's what it looked like, anyway. Fascinating stuff.
I'll get around to knocking down more webs eventually. I can't have trick-or-treaters running into them, after all. For the time being, though, I'm content with the tentative measures I've taken.
