Those who dared enter the facility found all-encompassing webs, calculated to contain 35,176 spiders for every cubic meter of space. The discovery has led some to believe that the nest is the most concentrated spider population in the United States! Paging @DrFrige 
Employees of the Baltimore Wastewater Treatment Plant were horrified to find the thousands of webs in 2009. At that time, the webbing engulfed nearly the entire ceiling of the warehouse, extending down two to three feet from the ceiling. Incredibly, the webbing was so thick in some areas, fixtures and lighting were permanently damaged by the weight of the spider silk which can be as strong as alloy steel when spun thickly.

Btw... between the spiders and regular humanoid Baltimore parasites... this is the only solution. |

They wouldn't be there if there wasn't enough food.
Ponder on those disease vectors if you will.

Throw them in the back of a truck and drive them around a bit. It'll solve the problem.

Was there a large enough insect population, besides the spiders, to support that many??

Can't have all those spiders with out a metric ton of insects to keep them fed.
There is even more to this than seen. |

I'm afraid of spiders.
Earlier this week, I was removing a spider egg that was encased in spider web. As I was tearing it away, the egg sack broke open and little tiny black dots starting dropping. I screamed like a little girl. |

I have first hand knowledge of waste water plants and this is what caused it
1. Midges not flies are in abundance 2. Lights are left on attracting the food 3. The workers shuffle around and look at the web grow every day I've been at a few plants that have a bad spider issue but not this bad. But I can say for sure its real folks, no bs here...
