Got the following from an email from my daughter:

My garden is INFESTED with black mites

Her garden consists of containers on a third floor deck. They are all flowers
with the exception of one or two tomato plants.
What should I tell her to get/to do to get rid of these insects??

I would recommend an application of safers soap.

No mention of any plant damage.

She didn't say so. Could it be the result of 7+ inches of rain in May?
