Are these what you are looking for? If so I have a couple of egg sacks located for you if you want them, or you could take the spiders also. I'm sure there are more egg sacks to come as these spiders are everywhere on the property.

In this one picture can see 3 of the spiders lol.

Beautiful! Yes, those are what I have been missing. I am sorely tempted to hop in the truck and come pick up an egg sack. Unfortunately, my wife absolutely HATES spiders. If I put one in our back yard she would never go outside again.

Oh, but I am so very tempted. Beautiful spiders...

Lol.

My wife hates them also. The garden spiders and the golden orb weavers like the openings between the canes of the black berries and raspberries. Since I have a couple hundred feet of the brambles I accumulate a lot of spiders. As long as they make the webs high enough the ducks can't eat them they are safe here. I rather like seeing them..heck you can even pet the golden orb weavers.

What do you do about daylilies you don't like?

I bring them to work and give them to my co-workers. I do that with a lot of the extra divisions and seedling plants in the spring. This year I brought in 10 or so divisions of Siloam Doodlebug and 8 divisions of Snowy Eyes and a few of some others. I also bring in other plants, like Lady's mantle, iris, perennial geraniums and stuff. I hate composting perfectly good plants and I'm too lazy to sell them. Most of my co-workers are not die-hard gardeners like us and don't care about things like names and genetics - they're just happy to get a nice plant with neat flowers for free! I've been doing this for a few years and it's always fun to have people come back to me and rave over a plant I gave them a year or 2 ago.

What Spider Mite damage looks like...
Q
Comments (6)
My Passi' is next to a New Rose Bush (so it's small) and the Rose Bush is Next to a 3yr old Butterfly Bush. My Butterfly Bush is Bare for the first 18" or so because of Mite Damage; it got so infested no matter what I did that I just cleared out the whole bottom of the Plant. Now the Passi like I said is very close and the Mites don't seem to bother it. The only way I have found to get rid of Mites is Just Spray each Leaf Seperately to get the Mites off. Here is a suggestion someone else had about mites; take the whole plant and cover it with a Clear Plastic Bag; find a way to tie it off; this way it works to create it's own humidity and after 2 - 3 days all the mites will blow up; seems they fill themselves up with the Moisture and they don't stop so they blow up. I haven't tried it; but I may soon. Today though I saw a bunch of Ants crawling on my Margaret; I really don't like ants at all; they give me that deep shrill inside that grosses me out; I had some Bug Killer from Bayer that I sprayed it with and it killed all the Ants; and then I rinsed it with Water; I know I am not supposed to do that but I am not comfortable with that stuff sitting on my Plants.

Are fleas possible if you don't have a pet?
Q
Comments (18)
Even after bombing, you'll still have survivors. If they're in/under furniture, the foggers don't travel there. My cat had fleas a few years ago, and nothing but vacuuming worked. I vacuumed everything, several times a day. I also put a small dish of water with dish soap under a nightlight. It does not have to be a shiny, or a specific soap. The fleas get trapped in the soap. I used this more as a guide to see IF the fleas were still there. It took 2-3 week to get rid of them. Sprays and powders don't really do anything but coat your carpet ( which then attracts dirt) and you once you sit on it. I spent a little over $100 and in the end, vacuuming 5-6x daily is what worked. Remember to dump the vacuum after EVERY use. It's a lot of work, but you have to stay on top of it because they multiply like crazy.

Don't you hate when Halloween shows up early?

Ditto Sable and Pesky. I don't like to use pesticides. We do have termite treatment every 10 years and whatever they use at the perimeter of the house must deter insects because we rarely get them in the house. We are seeing some red ants right now I think because of the heat and dry conditions, then just this past week we have had a good bit of rain. I don't like pesticides in the house because of the pup - and us too. Bumble - that is how I grew up. My parents and grandparents shared acerage and there are only about 5 other homes in their area. We are still rural here but less acreage (about 1.5). Where we are located we do still have the occasional deer, fox, etc. and plenty of rabbits, squirrels and birds. Re the hummingbirds, we are not seeing them as much this year. I wonder if it is due to our weird weather. They started coming around early but now I am hardly seeing them. Okay - in for a break, back outside! tina

Very nice. I miss those as well, Used to have them up in my northern gardens. I love these big orb weavers. I don't see a lot of (or any) spiders in my garden here in Florida.

I am in urban St Pete, but I was thinking for me it was all the anoles in my yard. Lizards everywhere. But I think the large numbers of lizards mean that there is a healthy ecosystem outside. But also think they munch on any spiders that try to get a hold in my yard.

Bear,

We have 100's of lizards around so don't think that is it. A lot of people hate the spiders and kill them on sight, i'm sure it takes it's toll on the population.
