Does anyone control for spiders in their garden? Do you use a brush or hose to clean unsightly webs? I hate to use anything to deter spiders or anything else (aside from mealy bugs) but it’s frustrating dealing with the constant spider webs on plants. Any techniques or tips?

Yep, No spiders = lots of bugs you don't want..

That said,  encouragement of / increasing the numbers of.. Green / Brown Anoles ..or any of the introduced Geckos out there  ..and the various wasps that parasitize spiders will keep the webby ones in check.. 

Fyi, the long legged " Cellar " spiders that i'm sure are present everywhere keep Black Widow #'s low as well.  B.W. kiddos are a favorite Cellar spider snack this time of year here.  

Other than that, i'll knock down webs until the spiders hanging where i don't want them get the hint.

Just a branch with multiple little branches, I just swish it around if the webs are getting in my face etc. Other then that I tend to leave it all natural. Best of luck.
