# Hi. This morning during routine plant chores I found this curled leaf…

_Gepostet von Mekare am 2025-06-09_

Hi. This morning during routine plant chores I found this curled leaf with webbing and spider mites on it. I've treated with dish soap and I've ordered Bios Plant Soap but it's in Canada and I'm in Texas so it's going to be a bit before it arrives. I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on whether I can use Captain Jack's Dead Bug on houseplants (I can get it tomorrow). What do y'all say? Captain Jack's to the rescue? Or no? Thank you. \*ETA - I appreciate the suggestions for other methods, I'm trying to find out about Captain Jack's Deadbug specifically.

I like to use neem oil works the best for me I like to have a little bit more water down than what they suggest then I set the plant to dry off in the dark so the leaves don’t burn

Ok. Thanks. Do you know if Captain Jack's is ok for houseplants?

Yes, Captain Jack's Neem Max Ready-to-Use Spray can be used on house plants. That's what Google says anyway. 😁

Sorry, no, I was asking about Deadbug as I mentioned in my post. Thanks though.

If you have 70% rubbing alcohol, spray it all over the plant, it will kill the spider mites. I’d wipe down the leaves after the alcohol has dried off. I would do it a few times until you don’t see any mites.
