I just moved into a new house that has a lovely garden, but the back lawn is teeming with tiny spiders. My kids are really uneasy about playing on the grass because of it. I'm looking for ways to deal with this spider situation—any ideas on how to handle it?

Instead of trying to get rid of the spiders, why not turn this into a cool learning opportunity for your kids? Teach them about spiders and their role in the ecosystem. You could even do a bug hunt to discover all the different insects in your garden. Who knows, they might end up loving spiders after seeing how fascinating they are!
Honestly, it’s a part of having a garden. Spiders help control pests, and they usually stick around in the summer and fall but will disappear in winter. Instead of exterminating them, maybe just mow the lawn before they play to minimize their presence for the day. Trust me, it's a balance between having outdoor fun and a few harmless spiders!
Yeah, and remember, as long as they're not dangerous, a few spiders aren't going to hurt them. It’s all about letting them appreciate nature!
