Spiders in the basement

I have a question:
There are lots of spiders in my basement, will they come upstairs or will they just stay where they are? I don't use the basement often so I don't care if they stay there.

Answer:
This is a difficult one, spiders will attempt to live wherever they can according to their species. They are almost always beneficial and most horror stories about hem are just that, stories.
The kindest and most effective way to stop them living in your house is to prevent them making webs or burrows. Take away their habitat and they will go somewhere else. Isn't that great?

No nasty chemicals and you've got rid of the pest. If you can live with them, then do so. If you can't, spray the areas where they make cobwebs with a citrus based cleaning solution. This is thought to prevent thyem attaching their webs so they just go away.
