We need to cancel these spiders' bank accounts, social media, etc.

This really is a problem where I live (Dawson County GA). In 2020, I had maybe two Joro spiders in the yard all season. Last year I had at least 60. They weave very strong webs that are even a threat for birds. Certainly hummingbirds. My yard is somewhat wooded so they have easy opportunity to produce webs.
I ignored them up until I found about 10 large females (and some males) with webs established in about a 30sf rectangular area. Trust me, you cannot co-exist with these spiders.
After considering various means to kill them (salt guns, air gun, shocking devices) I settled on a slingshot loaded with a pinch of clean kitty litter. It's very effective, safe for your property, and safe for your yard. Cheap too. Like a little beehive round for these bastards. I suggest you kill every one you see.
This year I am considering using a pesticide. Can any experts out there suggest what I could use safely? I recall reading that the Joro spider lays eggs in the ground. Please help! Lol.

"And they can fly; these arachnids form parachutes out of their webs and can travel up to 50 to 100 miles through the wind,"Cool! That's going to give flying squirrels some competition.
