    I have just come across a nest of hundreds of baby spiders on a rosebush in my garden.

    How do I get rid? I have such a huge fear of spiders!

    Sure just leave them alone and they'll leave. They make parachutes and float away :)

    Im afraid they will use their little parachutes to get into my house :(

    Leave them alone. They are harmless & outside. I doubt you will have a sudden spider invasion in your house but if you keep removing any spiders, you might find lots of flies around.

    I'm sure if I went outside to my garden I would find loads. Its the time of year for it. We just leave them be.

    You are going to find spiders in your garden. Its a garden.

    Think of all the millions of flies if there are no spiders to eat them. Spiders are an important part of the ecosystem, not only will they get rid of the pesky flies but they are food for birds and other animals.

    I hate flies and bluebottles. That's the reason I've not dusted down the cobwebs.;)

    most unlikely the whole family are there anyway in some species the female eats the male after mating and the young eat the mother after hatching
