Hey ladies and gents,

Well, after 3 treatments of Al's concoction to kill the spider mites, and an additional treatment of just Neem OIl, my spider mite problem appears to persist. I have rinsed the leaves MANY times with a hose and I spritz the foliage with filtered water 3-4 times per day. I have made certain that I have hit the undersides of the leaves as well, (There are only 8 of them) and yet, new brown spots are appearing and the little specks that we decided were spider mites still persist.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Will Dr. Bronner's kill spider mites for certain?

Anyone have any experience with predator mites? I am considering that next I guess.

Would love to hear from someone.

Thanks folks,

Pat
