Spiders on my bushes
We have been spraying our bushes and with no avail, we still find fine
webs. Our concern is will our bushes become diseased? Thanks. Claire |

Claire Don't kill the spiders on your bushes, they're probably the only thing keeping the insects down from the bushes. Spiders aren't much affected by insecticide anyway. Spiders aren't herbivores and they don't like plants. Outdoor spiders won't come inside, and if they do the inside spiders will get them if they don't dehydrate and die first. I used to hate them with a passion, having gone into hand to hand combat with them last winter in the basement I have since learned once they are gone the REAL pests move in. Starve them out and they go on their own. |

I wish there was some way to trap them without getting the giant house spiders, but they look similar and have the same habits, and will get caught in the same traps. But in the garden, I welcome the spiders - and they are *everywhere*. I just wish they would eat all of the cucumber beetles we have all over the place |

I know of no case where Spiders spread disease as they have nothing to do with the bush or plant itself other than to use it for shelter and a hunting ground. They are all carnivores. What do they eat? The bugs that eat your plants. Be nice to the spiders and you will have far less bugs eating your plants. David |
