Now I can safely deal with spiders without worry of getting sick.
Saturday, July 14, 2012
Spiders are prolific this year. We put out some July 4th decorations on the deck. Today when I started to put them away, I was shocked to see hordes of granddaddy long legs scrambling from under the ribbon. In just a few days, the red, white and blue ribbons had become infested. Spider webs wrap my plants every night. I don't spray insecticides because they are more dangerous for me than the spiders, I believe. That is why I was glad to find this article in the Augusta Chronicle. http://chronicle.augusta.com/life/home/2012-07-13/ask-bugman-know-you-spray

I don't have many spiders around here, just slugs and aphids. Some green caterpillars are eating my garden, too. But spiders? No.
ReplyDeleteI understand that spiders are good for keeping down the bugs, but we have more than we need. They build huge webs overnight. I am going to have to try to run them off or kill them.
ReplyDeleteWe also have aphids on our plants and often caterpillars appear before I know it eat away on some of my plants.
Recently I've had worse than spiders. Suddenly, overnight, ants appeared in my kitchen. As soon as I found what they came for I removed it and now they seem to be gone.
ReplyDeleteJust like me, they like cinnamon rolls! Too bad for them. Now both I and the ants are going on a sugar free diet.
