Default How do you get rid of spiders in your flowers, shrubs, plants...?

... without killing the flowers, shrubs or plants!!!

(These aren't tiny little spiders either. They are big and brown and everywhere. Maybe brown recluse?)

there's no need to 'get rid' of them.... they're NOT brown recluse.... look up 'recluse'... it means 'something or someone who HIDES"..... a recluse wouldn't be out where you can see it...... these are just garden spiders and they're there to eat the bugs that would destroy your plants if not kept in check by the spiders!!..... kill the spiders and you'll have more ugly bugs that you don't want, either!..... if the webs bother you, just take a long stick and gently destroy the web.... the spider will move and build in another spot.... maybe where you won't see it or it won't bother you.... see, they have to eat, too... and what they eat won't bug YOU....or your plants.....

They are not brown recluse because they are shy and "tiny". Most likely, what you have in your garden are either ordinary garden spiders or brown orb weavers, both of which are harmless and beneficial. They kill the bugs that destroy your garden. Anyhow, unless you want to use some sort of horrible chemical all over your garden, yard and the surrounding areas you will just have to learn to live with them and appreciate what they do for you. Even if you do kill some of them, they will come back. It's only natural.
