What you should do is have a mason jar and a 3X5" card handy and a guy to catch them. With luck one of the ladies won't mind doing it. Here in Tennessee we find this works fine for wasps and most spiders, though we do have a very handsome species we refer to as a "wide mouth jar spider". These latter prefer outbuildings, and tend to move quickly at night, seeming to appear out of nowhere and then freeze in place. Though we like them very much, they are not good for the faint of heart in the outhouse. Donna
P.S. Don't they sell some kind of spray cans of CO2 gas that will cool a spider or wasp down to where they are easy to catch? I think the ladies might find that makes them feel better without damaging "Organic Valley's reputation.
