Re: spiders

I have those same spiders too. Water hose doesn't stop them, they are
back the next day. Brooms don't stop them. They build webs from one
potted plant to the next. They seem worse this year for some reason.

  Does anyone know of a relatively nontoxic way to get rid of spiders? We 
have so many around the outside of the house this year, that you can't 
walk out the back door without getting web in your face. Also, the same 
is true on many plants. There are webs all over my pyracantha- to the 
point that it is really ugly. Since it never rains here, they don't get 
cleaned off. Its just a mess. I like the regular garden spiders- with 
their lovely symetrical webs- they are fine. It is all the other ones 
(especially the one that keeps building a web over my mason bee box 
everyday!!) that I've got to do something about. I've tried removing 
them with a broom (repeatedly), spraying them down with the hose, etc. 
Nothing works for more than a couple of hours....

Advice please!
