Spiders don’t usually dine on plants and cannot eat solid food directly. They need to liquify their food before ingesting it, and their digestive system is not designed to digest the cellulose of plants.

Most spider food is made up of insects, but there are some larger exotic types that can eat small animals such as crickets, grasshoppers, lizards, frogs, rodents, or birds.

There have been studies to show that some Spiders will eat various forms of human food. This includes egg yolk, sausage, and even marmalade. In addition to eating insects such as ants, flies, mosquitoes, and bees, some spiders will also eat very small animals like birds, frogs, lizards, and centipedes.

Avoid killing spiders. Spiders often feed on potato bugs, so if you see a spider in your home, especially in the basement, leave it alone.

First and foremost, they are not venomous. They can, however, if handled impolitely, emit a foul smell, and are capable of inflicting a painful bite – but neither is lethal. In spite of their Spanish name, nina de la Tierra, they do not cry like children.

Potato bugs or potato beetles are often attracted to potatoes, roots, and tubers in gardens. Like most garden destroying pests, the Colorado potato beetle is attracted to food sources, shelter, and a good breeding ground.

Practice companion planting: There are several plants that deter potato beetles. Try planting at least one or two of them alongside or even interplanted with your potatoes. A few good options include catnip, tansy, and sage. Be aware that catnip and tansy can spread easily.

Stink bugs come by their name honestly, releasing an acrid odor when threatened or killed. They don’t live in colonies or family groups, so you won’t typically see more than just one stink bug.

Indoor Stinkbug control can be obtained by using Onslaught Fastcap, Talstar Professional, Demon WP or Tengard. Simply spray these products along window sills, baseboards, and other indoor areas where Stinkbugs are found.

However, they often succumb after a few days of exposure to temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

While their bite may hurt, it is not poisonous. In some cases, people may experience a burning sensation if their skin comes into contact with the liquid stink bugs emit when disturbed or threatened. If a severe reaction occurs, contact a medical professional.

The most active season for stink bugs is primarily March through September. But, if temperatures rise significantly during the winter, stink bug season can continue well into the winter months.
