Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 178063, member: 944"] Spider mites are difficult to get rid of. Killing the individual mite is easy but breaking their reproductive cycle is not. You will need two products, Neem Oil and any product with the active ingredient spinosad. One of the most popular is Captian Jacks. The first thing you do is spray the plant completely with the spinosad product. This will kill the adult mites on the plant by contact. Next you will make a soil drench out of the Neem Oil and pour it on all of the soil. This will l kill the eggs in the soil. Next you spray the plant with Neem Oil. This will kill any above ground eggs plus any mites the spinosad might have missed. Do this every 5-7 days for 5 weeks. You do it for 5 weeks because there are 5 different reproductive cycles in a spider mites life. [/QUOTE]
