Please, someone help me kill spider mites! |
|
They have invaded my garden! I have sprayed every plant I have with blasts of water, soapy water, Sevin dust, Organicide and NOTHING is helping.... now on week 7... they are gaining on me....
I now have them front and back yards and I need to pull out some Big Guns, something that will KILL them.... I have been pretty much organic but at this point - I give up.
what can I use that won't kill everything? suggestions please?

1. Check and see what eats spider mites. |
|
I'm not sure, but I think ladybugs do. For every bug out there, there's another bug that eats it. I picked up some ladybugs and released them, and it certainly cut down on my aphid population. Again, I'm a freshman gardener so I'm certain you can look forward to some better advice than you've gotten from me.
