Is this what I think it is? And if so please help me kill them for good. I’ve tried everything and they keep popping up on random plants.

    idk for sure but if it is spider mites, I’ve had incredible success with mighty mint plant spray! (I think i got it for like $14 from walmart) i got spider mites on a group of plants and i sprayed them outside and wiped off all the webs and spiders i could see and put the plants in isolation then treated them again about a week later and haven’t seen any since!

    I've been using BIOS Plant Soap for the past few weeks. I've been treating every 5 days but the spider mites haven't come back at all after the first treatment. I'll do two more weeks of every 5 days just to be sure.

    Can you show a pic of the under leaves? More than likely spider mites though

      Hmm hard to tell, but i think i might see some. Have you done neem oil?

      Not in a few weeks. Is neem oil best? I also have Spinosad and insecticidal soap.

      Ive used neem oil and it worked well, but i also was in the position to take the plant outside and spray the crap out of it, top, bottom, soil, pot i didnt care lol.

    Based on web size and shape, that's probably a regular spider. Spider mite webs tend to be a lot finer and closer to the leaves. Look around for small orbweavers like the common house spider

      Okay! I didn’t see any and did treat for spider mites to be safe. (Blasted the thing with a hose, sprayed down with soap water, blasted again). Are you big into spiders? I have one that was small and now massive one out my window and curious if you could identify😂

      I love spiders! I'd be happy to help ID your not-so-little friend 😄

      I think it’s a golden orb weaver? She has a friend (i think the male)

      Yep those are golden orbweavers. I adore big orbs; they always look like they're made of glass ::)
