    Rake all the woodchips to dry out in the sun. Spiders like dark places. Are you sure they arent just little brown garden spiders? Sure they wont do you any harm anyway:).

    It's probably easier to deal with that than the spiders. They can sense your fear and that's why they're everywhere.

    Oh absolutely definitely spiders can smell human fear from miles away and home in on it like attack dogs ;) Also OP is male AFAIK.
