This spider has taken residence in a corner of one of the rooms, I'm not bothered by them but the web is getting a bit too big... can I just remove part of it to keep the size in check without causing harm to the spider?

Spider has kept insect populations in check and I'm grateful. Plus, they're cute

I was with you until that last sentence.

Insect populations are pretty in check right now, that's for sure
