Spies and how to get rid opf them

Yesterday I was playing my though game and every turn it seems I was getting his with at least one spy. I had so many on my planets and it was costing  me so much that at some point I decided to research anti spy whatever the building is to keep my planet clean.

 

My question is this I finally build one on a planet where I had 2 spies already on it. I thought that building would get rid of the current spies on top of the new ones that somebody would try to put on it. To my suprise it did nothing to the resident spies. Is that normal?

 

Thanks

Yes, it only prevents new spies.  So try to get the tech early in the game and start building them.  The structures are expensive, but provide a nice morale bonus.  As spies get increasingly expensive, this saves a fortune in the long run.

The Drengin and the Korath have to trade for the tech to get it.  Unfortunately, the AI does not prioritize getting this tech, so that may take awhile.
