I just discovered a spider mite infestation on a few of my plants today, and I need some pesticide recommendations. I used captain jacks dead bug brew for a thrips infestation and it worked great, but I looked on amazon to order more, and amazon tells me that I can’t order it from my location. Does anyone know of other pesticides that are very similar to CJDBB or have had good success rates?
Have you tried neem oil yet? I've used CJDBB for them before
3 likes I haven’t tried neem oil on spider mites but I’ve used it before on fungus gnats and it didn’t do much, so I’m hesitant to use it, although I could try it

I had success with neem oil
1 like Yeah it doesn't work on gnats but neem oil can also be a preventative for pests when you clean the leaves

I haven’t used it yet, but learned recently that pyrethrin kills all bugs. Only the adults, tho. I recommend beneficial nematodes for larvae.
