I wouldn't worry too much because the temps are usually 10 to 20 degrees higher inside an insulated home than external temps when no heating or cooling elements are being used. Even with temps in the lower 40s I'm sure their burrowing or webbing helps protect them from intense cold. I suppose you could compare it to how spiders adapt to and survive winter....the things they do to protect themselves from the weather.
