mjs, that Hoya is tagged as Hoya carnosa "Chelsea" and I enjoy seeing fawns too. Great pictures of wildlife from you and Paula. Paula, your last picture made me laugh.

HollyAnn, thank you for the Neem oil mix recipe. I will try it as well but like you, I am probably not consistent enough when treating for them. I've used Bonide All Season Oil and a "granule" systemic from Bayer. Both work well and keep spidermites at bay but neither products have proved to be a "forever" cure. I've read and have been told that once you get them, you will never be totally rid of them, and I believe it.

lil cuttie from Spathiphyllum 'Domino'.
