# Does anyone know how to deal with spider mites? One of my spider…

Does anyone know how to deal with spider mites? One of my spider plants just came down with them. So annoying!😣  
I moved it away from all my other plants and sprayed it with some watered down rubbing alcohol and dish soap but I just want to make sure I’m dealing with this correctly.  
Thanks

I think your treatment sounds ok, it seems to be a common mix people use for pesticide control. I would keep it separated from the other plants and re-apply your treatment maybe 1x week for the next 2-3 weeks.

The only thing that ever worked for me was rubbing alcohol, water \& dish soap (as mentioned) and a 2 inch paint brush. After dousing the plant and scrubbing each leaf with a brush in the groves it loosens any eggs and kills them. And not to rinse off the solution. Repeat once a week as needed. But this may be laborious process to do on a spider plant.
