I have also seen stuff like rasberry farmers releasing hamsters into their field. They don't eat the brambly bushes or the raspberries but they will eat the weeds and insects. I think they're released after being nuetered or something, as they imply eventually they're eaten by the local wildlife themselves. That's just probably more of a niche solution than the spider thing.
