We’ve introduced lady bugs and used Neem oil to treat, but there are still signs of the pests. As the temperatures begin to drop in NJ the plants need to be moved inside soon. Any advice on how to get these pest taken care of so they don’t spread to my other indoor plants? Should we just prune them since we’re running out of time for remedying with treatments? ![Bijlage 1 van 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/JmWEcNdOhBhfXYoZzKkXhq_wSyeo8rvuQyKy1WVP9MY/c08583f7a8c242b89253e60f33b6d9e7.webp?size=large) ## 4 reacties ### Sunny reageerde op 2023-11-01 Here’s my suggestion. Planta wouldn’t allow me to post it citing I have links or bad words. So, I’m posting my comment as a picture. I have no links or bad words. Ridiculous! ![Bijlage 1 van 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/8b3d3335629b4a8c985749778562cc5e.webp?size=large) #### maggiesmith antwoordde op 2023-11-01 Thank you so much!!! #### Debi antwoordde op 2023-11-01 Never use this bug spray for it will definitely kill your plant. It killed my lawn just spraying on a hive. ### Tamara reageerde op 2023-11-01 Good luck. I hate these pests. I feel like I’m never going to completely eradicate spider mites, or white flies, just make them manageable. --- _De Planta-community (https://getplanta.com). Iedereen kan meelezen.
