# Help please! I have two golden pothos and they both have mealy mites!…

Help please!  
I have two golden pothos and they both have mealy mites! What’s the best way to get rid of them? I’ve misted them both with diluted neem oil and given them both a shower to remove the bugs? Anything else I can do?  
I just don’t want them to die as one is a pretty big climber!  
Any help would be great!

just keep treating until you stop seeing them. give them a good hair cut to make it easier on yourself — it’ll bounce back quicker than you think

I’ve heard spraying a little peroxide helps kills mites but honestly I don’t know.
