Hello i just recently built a creeper farm but spider clogg up the system.How do i prevent them from spawning? I cant use carpets,because i am using a water based farm.I tried walls in the floor,but that got the creepers stuck. How can i stop spiders from spawning without blocking the creepers?
The only thing I can suggest to you is pressure plates, however, this may disrupt your water flow trapping creepers in the gaps. Mobs cannot spawn on redstone components. Open fence gates won't work because mobs can spawn in open fence gates. Signs for the same reason.
You ought to be able to remake the farm so it kills the spiders as well.
If the water pushes the creepers to a drop I'm thinking you could make the walls out of cactus so the spiders are killed if they hang on to them.
The bottom of each column of cactus has to be sand and you need to leave a gap between the columns but you can put another column behind each gap if you want.
if you make every other floor block a bottom slab spiders wont spawn like:
FSFSFSFSFS
SFSFSFSFSF
FSFSFSFSFS
SFSFSFSFSF
F= floor
S= Slab
viewed from above
of course this will also cut your creeper spawn in half.
This wont work. Spiders can spawn in any open 3x3 area as long as there isn't any obstruction. They can even spawn on a single block as long as there isn't any obstruction in a 3x3 area. (They also need ~2 blocks high of space)

Just testing.

Just make your dropping chute larger, that way it will kill the spiders as they won't be able to stop their fall.
That's what I've had to do in the past.
Why use water instead of cats? I guess u have a reason but u made it harder for yourself.
I hate creepers
Because it's actually slightly easier, you just need a redstone clock, plus you can also get string from it, if you design it correctly.
