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

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