2 Me gustaI had an infestation recently and it helps to clean in batches. I put all my plants in my bathtub and throughly sprayed insecticidal soap on every leaf and cleaned washed it off with the shower head. Also try not to keep them too close to an open window for a while. Sorry this is happening :(
2 Me gustaThank you I appreciate your help!💚
1 me gustaIf your plants are outside/in a greenhouse and you want to try natural predators as control, spiders (cellar, wolf, grass, and jumping are all good picks), mantises, and ladybugs should all work. Also there's a ladybug relative called "the spidermite destroyer" (Stethorus punctum). If you find those or a close relative, they should be super effective. (Picture of that one for reference. They're smaller than ladybugs)
