# Trying to stay consistent and spraying Captain Jacks Dead Bug Spray…

_Geplaatst door Keith op 2024-11-23_

Trying to stay consistent and spraying Captain Jacks Dead Bug Spray every three days after noticing some spider mites on our ficus elástica. Came across these dudes on a philodendron across the room and am wondering if I need to adjust my treatment plan. They were moving across the surface of a few leaves.

I've read that they can somewhat become resistant to what we use if we use it too often. I use Captain Jacks the first time, then two days later I use Bioadvanced 3 in 1 and two days later jist good old rubbing alcohol mixed with a few drops of dawn dish soap and water.

Good to know. Thanks.  
Any help IDing the bugs on this plant?

It sucks that Planta doesn't let us zoom in on pictures. But is that a white fuzzy kind of patch on the smaller leaf in lower left? Potential mealies?
