I get the jumping spiders naturally when I put my cuttings outside in the Spring. I've seen them around, but I've never seen them "in action." However, I'm sure my wife wouldn't appreciate me introducing them intentionally inside ;-)

I've got them in my garage greenhouse also, cheap effective pest control.
if you ever have time, just chill and watch them. They are fantastic, i bet there is plenty of videos on line as well.

I had a gnat outbreak in the greenhouse this weekend, a sticky trap and some "good" or "safe" predatory nematodes seem to have done the trick, not a gnat in sight today. I bought some diamatecious earth (sorry for spelling) and used a bit on one pot but not really necessary.Rafael

Predatory nematodes are my friend. Gnatrol is some good stuff too, between the two fungus gnats have it pretty rough around here anymore.Calvin, Wish list is to finish working on the new house, someday.
Bored? Grab a rake, paint roller, or a cordless drill and come over!Comment

These pics are from July 2014. I actually did not see the spider at first. He blends in almost perfectly with the fabric containers I use. I saw the wasp move and jumped a bit, but then noticed he didn't really look alive either. The spider carried the wasp up the side of the container onto the top of the growing mix. Eventually I left him alone so he could enjoy his meal.
Viva la jumping spider!You may only view thumbnails in this gallery. This gallery has 2 photos.Littleton, CO (zone 5b) - In Containers
