spiders over connifers - how to get rid of them
 

We moved into a house last year and early summer we noticed lots of tiny red spiders crawling everwhere. This year there appears to be webs all over are conifers and any other corner/ plant (rose archs, tall lilies etc).

Any ideas how to get rid of these pests?

Actually they are not pests, the red spider mite isn't red at all but
the little red spiders are just common garden insects. The webs and
nests of spiders are just common garden spiders and are not a pest
either, in fact they eat and catch many real pests.

Even the six-yea- old next door knows that spiders are arachnids!

That's a hell of a six-yea-old they've got there. I was precocious,
but I certainly didn't know the red-backs we teased with bits of
grass were arachnids.

They may not be pests in one sense, but having cobwebs everywhere one turns is beginning to be a real irk!

you need to sell up and move into a nice spider free minimalistic flat
with a balcony you can put some pots with plastic shrubs on.

Dunno..."balcony" suggests opening doors, which risks nature invading
the habitat.
