A good way to control the unwanted invasion, including fungi and bacteria, is the use of beneficial organisms. The organisms help to control spiders, mites, and any others by simply overpowering them. They also eat the pests or emit a substance that is toxic to them. They are called beneficial organisms because they control the pests without hurting the plants or vegetables.
