You better hope she hasn't mated for the season and starts laying eggs. Each eggsack can muster up to 900 spiderlings. Don't worry most will canabalize each other, but the others being very tiny can escape through tiny cracks or a screen.

Lol you people get in such a tizzy. When you see an egg sac you can dispose o it or put it into a sealed container for breeding. They eggs don't hatch over night and besides they breed in the spring so her ssacs should be spent but if they aren't then it's not a worry
