spiders on plants.

[gahligahli]

so i was watering my plants today and saw two little spiders on one of my plants. and then i saw about 4 on another plant.

 

they are small and white spiders, and i was wondering what i could do to get rid of them?

 

cheers!

gday Gahli,

Depending on how old the plants are, you probably wont want to use regular fly spray cos that would hurt ya lung bad becuase the plant would absorb the chemicals into its leaf cuticles. I rekon the best thing to do would be to get an insect spray which is pyrethrene based. Should be able to pick this up from a nursery or maybe even the supermarket. Another thing to remember is that if youve got spiders living on your plants there is the possibility that there are other insects the spiders are eating. Getting rid of the spiders might allow leaf eating insects to devour ya plant. Weight it up.
