Hi, everyone--

I have large portions of bronzey brown foliage on my shrubs along with spider webs. Looks like spider mites to me, right?

Last week I sprayed with a solution of water and dish soap. This week the shrubs look worse.

Should I try another treatment --perhaps a miticide or neem oil--or do you think it's too late and I should go ahead and yank them and start over?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. t.
