Spiders as pest control?

Would putting a spider from around the house help with white fly and other flying pests on my plants?

I don't use "beneficial" insects in my rooms, but I love spiders just for that reason. Less flys and mosquitoes. I know some outdoor growers, not just marijuana, will buy ladybugs by the hundreds/thousands as they eat other bugs.

Will be interesting to see other responses.

No it wont help and it will probably bite you. To eliminate white flys use yellow sticky strips hung above plants, they will be gone in 2 weeks.

If your ok with a bunch of spiders in your grow room then go right ahead! But pests reproduce much faster than one spider can eat.

I use ladybugs to keep pests at bay. You should be able to buy them at your local garden/greenhouse supply store. Heck, our home depot sold them up until 4 years ago

Or you could go out with a matchbox and catch yourself some ladybugs.

My son and I went out in our back yard about 4 months ago and we found around 10 ladybugs.


Needless to say I threw them in my grow room.

Eventually they all died due to starvation but its doable.

Ive taken than from outside as well. I just feel bad from taking the out of their natural habitat and from separating them from their little ladybug families lolw
