Question: Would draping all the walls with water keep them in the streams? I haven't tried it with the cave spiders, but it did work with the regular ones. I like to dig out around the spawner 2 below it and 3 above it so it they spawn on top of the spawner, they can't jump up to the ceiling. For the big ones it worked to place a water stream at the top block, every other column, but I guess you would have to do every column with the little buggers. This water fall may effect your flow toward your kill trap, and so you may need to make the room 7 high so when the water hits the floor it doesn't spread out much.

Might work. They like to avoid the water. I'm gonna run some tests and see and I've got a couple of designs in mind. I'm going to have to have a part 2 episode with all my tests and the final product. The goal is to make a 100% efficient system.
EPISODE 5 : Cave Spider Farm
Thanks!
Yeah it used to only work with TNT but that was dangerous. Now that glow stone acts as a glass block it wont suffocate you.
