Spider Mites! Help! I have tried spraying with Castile Soap, but they keep coming back. I also used systemic granules, but they spider mites do not die. What works for you?

Diluted neem oil with tap/bottled water has worked for me! Even just spraying heavily infected soil and then wiping the leaves has gotten rid of it for me🙃

I second the neem oil treatment. I had a bad infestation of spider mites on my tomatoes and a solution of 1.5 tsp of need oil, .5 tsp Carole soap and 1 qt of warm water makes a great spray I used on nearly everything in my garden to keeps all sorts of nasties away.

how often and for how many weeks were you spraying?

#### Monさんが2024-09-06に返信しました

Once a week. It’s been 3 weeks.

their life cycle is up to three weeks but since they hide well it might take you up to a few cycles to fully get rid of them 😪

Unfortunately systemic granules work on nearly every plant pest but spider mites. I used a 1-1 rubbing alcohol and water plus a pump of dish soap, saturated the plant with it and scrubbed every leaf with a two inch paint brush. Once a week for about three weeks. Neem oil did nothing in my experience.

I sprayed the plant with alcohol yesterday. I am scared it will burn the leaves 🙈 since it’s an Alocasia

Do they get in the soil?

Diluted Neem oil with a bit of dish soap sprayed on leaves works

I learned that spider mites are attracted to dry environments. If you keep your plant misted, they don’t like it. This is especially true with my croton.
