Good spider or bad spider? Idk if you can see the webbing and what looks like eggs in these pics. Y’all. There is a plant problem everywhere I turn. I’m trying so hard! What am I doing wrong?

Looks like a regular spider to me

### Amy comentó el 2025-05-31

It doesn’t seem to have hidden itself very well like a spider mite would. And the webbing isn’t as dense, I think. My guess is one of those little black and white jumping spiders, which I don’t mind.

That webbing kinda looks like spidermites

### Phil comentó el 2025-05-31

Yes. Spider mite webbing is usually random and haphazard. Which this looks. It you are having continuous issues with these guys, try a systemic solution. And an fyi, they require several weeks worth of whatever bug killer you are using. One treatment does not get rid of them all. I use insecticidal soap and repeat treatment about once a week for a couple months.

Dangit! I was hoping not. But I have been battling all kinds of pests this spring so I’m not surprised.

I have been alternating neem oil and horticulture oil about every 10 days on almost all of my outdoor plants. (Not this one though. I’m scared I will kill it). I’ve been treating for mealy bugs, aphids, spider mites, and other stuff I can’t even see.

Should I add insecticidal soap to the rotation or strictly stick with the insecticidal soap alone?
