Anyone have good tips for getting rid of spider mites? I currently use neem oil spray weekly and have been spraying and wiping down with a mix of alcohol, peppermint castille soap, water and neem oil on leaves and stems. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
In all honesty, i don't know how you feel about using chemicals but i have never been able to get rid of spider mites with any natural products, no matter how many ratios i used of neem or Castile soap.. my go to is Servin and i only have to use a couple of times and discontinue, and afterwards do maintenance with neem oil/soap mix after the threat is gone. Sometimes the natural ways don't have the amount of strength needed to eradicate the problem... in my opinion
If the plant can handle it, spray the whole thing aggressively with water daily to physically knock mites off the leaves and annoy them enough that they won't want to come back

i’ve had good luck with a water and rosemary oil spray, i’ve been giving them daily mistings and so far so good! Took out the mite problem on my ikea plants
