I might even get a little protein too?

They’re effectively harmless, and honestly I wouldn’t eat them, as they are our cute 8 legged kittens that eat the other bugs out there.
Look first, if no bugs or spiders, then free dandelion food yo! 👍

The spiders are optional. Honestly, you’re more likely to encounter their egg sack under a dandelion than the actual mother spider, unless you pluck them early in the morning dew when momma spider might be at home…

Almost all of our spiders are completely harmless. Even the black widow and brown recluse are not as dangerous as people think.
We spray for bugs because people don’t want house spiders in their house.

Eating the spiders is not an issue. Eating pesticides that people use against spiders is.

In my area, when people don’t cut their lawns, they damn sure ain’t paying for pesticides.

I don’t use pesticides, but when my dogs start coming inside with ticks, I spray flea and tick killer in their fenced area. I imagine others probably do the same.

Also, you let your dogs inside? We had a large doghouse and like a 200 foot cable runner.

Yeah, people that can afford fences can usually also afford to tend to their lawn. Not everyone can afford such luxuries, many folks can just barely afford dog food, to feed their security guard animal.
