Spiders Taking Over!!!

Help!
I love plants, maybe too much. It's like a jungle here in the summertime as the beds have reseeded & filled out, some are by the house. There's also mature shrubs. I guess spiders like them too and I really hate spiders. There all all types & sizes of spiders, webs everywhere - railings , patio, porch, shed, in or under furniture, sometimes we even walk into a web. They're in the house too. It's really creeping me out. Is this common & should I pull out the plants :(

Please calm down. You can't get rid of spiders because they are part of the environment. If those die, others move in.

Beyond that, spiders help you limit the pesky insects at your place.

Getting rid of the plants won't get rid of the spiders.

As for walking into webs, when you go out, raise your arm or a stick in front of you.
