Abstract
This study demonstrates that spiders may offer the ultimate green alternative for the control of woodworm. Following the use of a chemical spray a five year study of the relationship between Pholcus phalangioides and Anobium punctatum have generated some interesting observations and the suggestion that these spiders may also be used to tackle mosquitoes.
