Spider menace

Is there any organic method to control spider menace in gardens?

Spraying panchakavya (mixing cow's urine, milk, curd, ghee and jaggery) regularly over the crown of the plants may help prevent several plant infestations and provide the complete nutrient requirement to the plants. You may also try smoking method (burning the dried leaves under the plants) to control mites, spider and beetle menace.
