Please help. I have about 6 spider webs with mommy and eggs hidden in my mint. Are the spiders harmful? Should I use Neem oil on them? There’s a special place in my heart for moms and babies but salads and lemonade with mint I also hold dear. What should I do?

Wow so many! Like I said before I think you’re okay, gently clean all the webs and collect the sacs to remove and you can have best of both worlds between salad and live and let live 🥰

Your decision. But I would choose plant over spiders with a solution of these.

I think I’ll keep the spiders 🕷️ since I can’t find where they hurt the plants. But thanks so much for responding. A spider lover on this app made a compelling argument to keep them. I feel totally differently about Japanese 🪲 beetles!
