Sorry no pictures because I hate them but Iā€™ve got spider mites that just donā€™t seem to go away. I water whenever dirt is dry. But every time I finally get things growing (like beans or peppers) indoors I get spider mites! Iā€™ve done nematodes, rubbing alcohol and water. I have fans on them all the time, I wipe off the leaves once in a while but maybe not enough?? Itā€™s so discouraging this happens too often but now theyā€™re on my aloe. They leave my rosemary alone. Maybe I can just mist with rosemary water and rubbing alcohol?

    I'd use an insecticide for mites every 3 days for 6-7 weeks. That way you kill the whole life cycle. Generally people under treat. So they see another round pop up after the larvae hatch. Spidermitrs love warm and dry. So creating a humid environment if possible helps. Its another reason I'm a big fan of misting/humidifier.

      This is the home made one i was using from Blossomeffect. I switched to Arber because neems not effective on scale/mealybugs.

      It definitely works on spider mites. And thrips too

      I definitely do the rubbing alcohol spray mix before and it helped but I donā€™t think I did it long enough and the humidity indoors right now is 18-20% so that might not have helped šŸ˜…

    Did you try Neem oil mix with your water? That helps a lot. It had help me with all My plants.

      Try a popular platform like DuckDuckGo and so on.

    Spider mites are my villain origin story.. but Iā€™m coming in with my hydrogen peroxide comment (1 part hydro to 5 parts water), if you havenā€™t repotted to new soil, do that as well! Also what Wolfen saidā€”insecticide for 2-3 months and up the humidity 10x! Itā€™s a chore tackling spider mites! Iā€™ve sworn off rubber trees because of them! Good luck to you, soldier šŸ«”
