Peter knew how to fight them last time, he just didn't tell any of the spiders because Silk had to be special for the plot and discover the radiation world. And if the Other popped early there wouldn't be enough of them for Morlun to just come in and take down Kaine after he tanked Solus. Peter knew full well how to beat them last time and basically went out of his way not to.
