I really don't think that the spiders are your problem....unless your
talking spider mites which are this size............see those dots i have
spiders in my plants they catch the insects......shows you how little i
spray.......find a screwed up joint and dissect........or look for any
insects near those joints.maggots etc......are you sure what you see are
spiders eight legs????.....Brock
