I used D'Limonedo, extrato casca de laranja + oleo de neem – carnauba oil
I've been dealing with an extensive infestation for several months now, and I wanted to throw in my $0.02. All of the washes and soaps are just going to control the population. They'll always return. Same for DE, but it has a longer lasting effect. Fumigation is an option that wasn't discussed here. Lemongrass, citronella, peppermint, and rosemary essential oils all have insecticidal qualities and can either be heavily diluted and applied as a foliar spray or allowed to atomize into an enclosed space. Even vaporized, the chemicals in those oils are poison to a tiny mite.
Apart from dumping a plant, I don't think anything can fully eliminate an infestation other than with predators. Ladybugs and lacewings (and their larvae) are actually kind of useless, they're too big and a bit on the slow side. They can control a population by eating adults, but I don't think they will go after eggs the way that predator mites will. There's also a tiny predatory beetle Stethorus punctillum that is a cousin of the ladybug and is at least shaped like one. They're expensive as predators go, but they'll eat up spider mites like no other.
Thank you
I don't like to use diatemaceous earth as it could affect useful insects.
If you use the ladybugs do NOT USE diatomaceous earth a month befor you release them into your guardian. It will kill them also
I have spider mites on my succulent I think, I treated with peppermint oil and neem oil and still haven’t stopped them. My succulent won’t last much longer. I’m trying the airflow method and then next cold method.
The first…errmmm…medicinal plant I ever grew was in my attic. It was the only plant up there, and somehow got spider mites.
I was so emotionally disturbed from battling them that I didn't grow anything else for a couple of years. Devil bastards, I say!
Diatomaceous Earth is not a rock that's pulverized. It's made of the crushed fossils of diatoms, a micro algae that produces 20 percent of the planets oxygen every year.
Can I spray them routinely and safely even though I don’t see mites
Can I use Dawn dish soap for the soap part?
Does the use of soap kill catapillars on my same plant?
물 1 리터 + 물비누 1테이블스푼 + 야채오일 1 테이블 스푼
What about neem oil?
Thank you for your help. I will definitely try the first two remedies. ♡
If the plant is sturdy enough, you can hose them off in the shower (or outdoors) with fairly high pressure (especially the underside of the leaves) once or twice a day for a week or three. It can actually fix the problem because you'll be blowing the buggers off with the water. (Unless the infestation has gone too far, then it'll probably just drown the plant (so be careful to not get the dirt wet, just the leaves). XD
So i shouldn't kill those Red Spider Mites i see sometimes ? BUT those green bastards, have at it !
Add baking soda to the oil
Lady bugz eat potatoes lol
neem oil up to flower lady bugs after and until finish !
What about dusting sulfur?Have you tried?
Anyone tried the praying mantis? , Probably only good for larger pests. I'm in the habit of putting any I find on my prized plants
