Why don't they put sone long planks leading up and out of the bog for a day or so before the harvesters go in? Give the spiders a time window to migrate to the shore...

    Its a big field bog, and the people in charge of harvest have to move around in it. Also they drag the boom across the bog surface to harvest, so poles in the ground aren't really an option.

    The better question is... why not float rafts on the bog with the berries to let the spiders flee into those first then let the people wade in. Arachnid employees deserve safe evacuation! Probably wouldn't fully solve the problem, but might make it a bit better.

    Wolf spiders are harmless, so there is hardly any incentive to invest in another solution I'd guess...

    I wish they weren't so shy though, it's really hard to take good photos of them because they are so fast.
