Spiders Getting Eviction Notices

[RangerDanger]

I don't mind spiders on my outside plants.
In fact, I believe a small population of spiders is a sign of a healthy garden.
But some of my plants will be harvested in less than a week, and I don't like bringing spiders inside the house and I particualrly don't like being bitting while harvesting/manicuring.
So now the spider evictions start.
I don't kill 'em , I just make it uncomfortable for them. Like destroying their webs.
In one of the plants I found several leaves webbed together and I could see an egg case inside, so I carefully snipped off those leaves and put them in one of the plants that won't be ready for another 5 weeks or so. Hopefully they'll hatch and the babies will be on their merry was before those plants will be harvested.
For the spiders that can't take a hint I bang the branches against something like the fence as soon as I cut them off the plant.
Even so, I usually find a few when the buds are on the table undergoing manicuring. That's why I keep an empty margerine tub handy, to capture them and put 'em back outside.

Yeah, when I notice that one plant has less spiders than the others, I relocate a few. I definitely don't mind a few webs when it means no nasty plant eaters.
