Anyone know a cure for spider mites?


The biological control works well, but needs warmer temperatures.

A friend told me you can buy "predators" for these things . . . but spider
mites are more of a pain than a threat, I think. I've never heard of them
killing a plant. Someone said washing your plant's leaves with soapy water
gets rid of them. Mine got into the house on a bush I brought in from the
garden, the little devils. It must have been a "Trojan Gorse" . . . ;-)

They do say that "right" is better than "mite" in the long run . . .
