Default Spider mites, over and over and over

Spider mites become resistant quickly. Alternate Malathion, mitacide,

alternating treatments.


Thank you for the suggestions. I looked up "miticide" and found that
there are several different varieties: methoprene, hydroprene,
permethrin, probably others. What type would you advise me to look
for?
