It’s a spider egg sac. I thought only black widows laid sacs like that but apparently many spiders do.

In that case, would setting the sac on fire be the most effective way of removal?

No. Thermonuclear warhead detonation would be much more effective and thorough. Can't be too careful.

Black widows spin smooth egg sacs. This one is likely Latrodectus geometricus, or brown widow.
