I'm planning a trip to Ecuador in the near future. Do these spiders get in houses? Any tips to keep them out?

Just a quick note regarding specimen 11 in p. 1, labeled "Orb-weaver (Araneidae)"--the spider does not belong to the family Araneidae, but rather to the F. Philoponella, and the genus is Uloborus (this is the spider with the white circular decoration in the middle of the web). Cheers. Leticia Avilés (UBC, Canada)
