The doors are brand new, tightly sealed & the building was just built a couple years ago to green building specs—super insulated, airtight. The problem is the spiders seems to be coming in when the doors are opening & closing. We have 250 people working here & many many visitors. Doors are propped open sometimes so things can be moved in & out, etc.

So far the solutions are citrus scent on all door jambs, osage orange
broken up & spread outside the door, same with black walnuts, &
french marigold barriers. & we're talking a lot of wolf spiders,
maybe not armies, but at least patrols. You've reminded me that I
should try to convince the operations people that the spiders could
be trapped & released somewhere else (like in my own garden) because
I'm pretty sure they are being flushed down the toilet or stomped on.
