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.

      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

    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.
