Webs in my live oaks making them not flourish as they should. They are very sticky webs and they contain tiny spiders (not worms). I got on the roof and tried spraying to the tops with Neem and it did no good.
Yes, I HAD a lot of mud daubers, but they were building unsightly mud huts all over my limestone house and were entering the attic and building in the attic. Over the summer, I effectively plugged all attic entrances. And waged a successful war against these menaces. I know, I know, they're beneficial. Try telling that to my spotted house!
I say all this because I don't want you saying that I need more mud daubers or blue wasps. I hate those things. I also hate spiders and especially the webs in my live oaks.
I plan on continuing killing all spiders, wasps, mud daubers, yellow jackets, etc. etc that are around where me and my children will be. We live on a lake and have a large back porch that is a favorite for all these pests. The particular trees with webs are right next to the porch and offer much needed shade for the setting sun.
NOW, HOW DO I GET RID OF these tiny spiders building these unsightly webs in my live oaks? Neem (no worky), Molasses spray? Seaweed spray? BT? (whatever that is.)
