    Question How do I move a Spider?

    We have a new addition to the family - a beautiful Golden Orb Spider. She moved in a couple of weeks ago but unfortately her web now blocks most access to the back yard. I would love to keep her around in a different part of the yard but not sure if or how I can transplant her so she stays.

    So, anyone have any ideas how I can safely transplant her to a different corner of the yard?

    Thanks in advance.

    Get an old flyscreen, load up the spid and transfer said screen to the back fence. Spid will wander off when ready.

    Or even hack off a lump of shrubbery and use that.

    keep removing the web,, gently,,
    the spider will relocate.
    we had this problem with the van door inbetween two shrubs,, constant de-webbing saw the spid move to the other side of the shrub,,

    must be going soft I reckon,, ten years ago I would have teed off with a 4 wood,,,

    spiders...mans second biggest fear.... I don't really know why.

    if you just break the lower anchor points on the web where it gets in your way, she will stop anchoring there.
