Abstract: We develop a mathematical model for understanding the eect of wanderer
spiders as biological controllers of the insects infesting vineyards, thus accounting also for
the role played by residual wood and green patches as spiders habitat in the otherwise
homogeneuous landscape of the Langhe region. We then extend the deterministic model
allowing random
uctuations around the coexistence equilibrium. The stochastic stability
properties of the model are investigated both analytically and numerically.
