Since moving to Louisiana, every year we get thousands and thousands of Banana Spiders. I have eight acres and lost of trees. They make spider webs everywhere, even inbetween trees that are 40' apart. They send out sticky lines when the wind blows and cross between trees to make their web nests. I f they would stay high in the trees I wouldn't mind them but most make a nest 6' off the ground. I we walk into them.
Any have ideas on reducing the population or killing them all?
Thanks

Is a banana spider the same as an orb spider, aka writing spider, aka garden spider? I don't kill spiders because they are great in the garden for control of some pests. When they make webs that I am inclined to walk into, I just remove their web, and they usually build them elsewhere. I'm sorry, but I don't know what kills them since I like to have them around.

Best thing to do is keep tearing their webs, that seem to be the only thing that will move them higher. They are more of a bother (their webs) and kinda scary to some (they can get large). I know of no other way to help you out then this. Sorry

For those who have never seen one here is a good link on them http://www.shadygrovetrainingcenter.com ... allery.htm
