SPIDER MITES in the Garden? Identify, Prevent & Treat Organically

[@nancyk8153]

Finally!!! I've been waiting for this. They arrive in my garden every July & August, zone 9A Texas

[@rachelsmith5770]

Perfect timing! This is my project today. I have cucumbers in need of treatment. Thank you!

[@joydavis4087]

Ty for this vid. I’ve had spider mites on my rose of Sharon. ❤ so far so good this year.

[@dollyperry3020]

Good information!

[@melindaroth5796]

Thank you Angela 😊❤

I get spider mites on my 40 yr fiddle leaf fig tree, every winter when it’s taken inside. Same symptoms and I have to treat, treat treat!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

They are the worst.

[@carlsouthard6735]

thank you for the information

[@IsabelleDelbridge]

Good to know, thank you.

[@chelseasGardenStg]

Thank you for this! I live in St. George Utah where it’s also hot like Mesa and spider mites are an issue for sure. Do we wait any amount of time before spraying off with water when it’s above 90?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

You can wait a few minutes, but I don't wait long.

Hi Angela, how do you deal with ants in the garden, and I mean a lot of them?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

These baits are effective if ants are causing problems: amzn.to/3Zk0tTd

If you have a raised bed with spider mites, do you need to treat the soil once you have pulled out the infected plants before you plant something else? Thanks!!

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

If they are bad, yes I would spray the soil as well.

[@user-ym3qh5fw5g]

Hello, do you have a good advice on how to treat for crickets?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Generally I let the birds deal with them. If they are very troublesome you could use Diatomaceous Earth amzn.to/4gtaT92

[@lieseambrose3461]

What about grasshoppers that attack the tomato plants??

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Handpicking is usually the most effective.

[@jenmv3483]

Is Neem oil same or horticulture oil? 😎

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

No - it's different.

Sadly One can never win a battle against spider mites.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

They are such a pain.

[@sandys.1891]

Let's say you pull the plant do you compost it or put the plant in your recycle bin?

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

No - not if it has spider mites. That would go in the trash for me.

[@barbmills2756]

They destroyed my lawn every year when I lived in Colorado. Nasty creatures

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

Ug.... they are not fun.

[@carrieohio]

They destroyed my Foxgloves.

[@GrowingInTheGarden]

So sorry!
