The garden cross spider is a large spider with three distinctly different colored lines. The adult females, which are easily a foot long, have a white band across their body. The males have a black band across their back. This spider is a true pest control specialist as they are one of the few spiders that carry the plague of the garden cross spider from one garden to another.
In late December I came across an interesting article on the garden cross spider in the UK. One of the comments said, “The garden cross spider is a member of the family Lycosidae, which includes garden spiders. It makes a pretty big mess and is a fairly common pest in gardens.” This is interesting to me as I’ve often had trouble controlling my garden spider population. When I was young, I only had one spider in my garden.
And now I have six. With the addition of the garden cross spider, I think we have a problem.
I have had trouble controlling my spider population. I’ve been trying all sorts of tricks: spray, tepid water, and even putting them outside. I’ve also tried a lot of different pest repellents. None of them worked. One day I think it was my own body that got to be used as an ineffective repellent.
A garden spider can be an invasive species in your garden, but it should be controlled. If you have the guts to control it, you should probably go for it. But if you can’t control it, or even if you can do it, don’t just keep throwing it in the garden like a bad habit.
If the spider is not controlling your garden, then it is the best time to spray it with some sort of repellent. Most garden spider repellents are either irritant or toxic to plants. I usually try to avoid irritants, and avoid toxic repellents. With all the repellent that Ive tried lately, it seems to have made no difference.
And I’ve used all of them and they don’t seem to make a difference at all. I was using a plant repellent just yesterday, and it made no difference at all. The garden spider is not a true irritant, but it is a strong deterrent, and should be used with caution.
Ive heard that one of the best garden spider repellents may actually be a poison, and that it needs to be applied to the whole plant. This may not be a problem if you have a very small garden, or if you are willing to apply a large amount of it. Ive heard that you should only apply it to what you know is an actual spider, and not just anything.
When I first started gardening, I had to wear gloves most of the time. After a few years, though, I can tolerate them again. Even so, these garden spiders can be a real pain to deal with. Once you get the spider, you have to destroy it, and the garden spider is a huge problem. It is very difficult to find, and not very easy to get rid of. It eats everything from flowers to grass, and is very difficult to catch.
The garden spider is a true spider: It crawls over the ground and uses its body to hold it in place as it spins a web. Unlike the garden spider that you might kill by dragging it onto your kitchen table, the garden spider can be killed by the very same thing. This is because the garden spider’s skin is composed of protein rather than silk. So the spider will not be damaged by this type of attack, but the spider will be very difficult to remove.
