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?

Yes, the reduced chance of getting prey was the first thing that sprung to mind and I was mainly thinking about how that would mean increased hunger... but the web was getting too large to ignore, so we needed a compromise. Hope the trim won't affect them too much!

Meaning it’s not going to waste too much energy

That's good to hear! Thanks for all the info!
