Hi Jim, Somewhere I read they are not very aggressive, but will defend their nest. I had one in my garage a month ago, and noticed it when my leg went into it's web. "Hmmm... strong web. Hmm... black spider... Hmm... pretty red marking. Hourglass? Hang on a minute!" I knocked the spider down with some wasp spray and finished the job with a size nine Birkenstock. Other sizes may work well also.
