    You need to ID the bugs before doing more spraying of any kind. Many of the bugs in gardens are good guys, they eat aphids and other bugs that you don't want in the garden. As for the spiders, the same thing is true with them, most eat bad bugs so you want to leave them alone to do what Mother Nature created them to do.

    And if you find worms or caterpillars, ID them before killing them. Worms aerate the soil so they are good guys. Most Caterpillars will become the moths and butterflies that help pollinate your flowers.
