When I have spider mite problems, I use a Flea and Tick Shampoo for dogs that has pyrethrum in it. This is an organic insecticide that is only effective while it is wet. I use a fine mist to spray the plants in the early morning or late afternoon. Allow it to sit for 10-15 minutes and then rinse it off. I use 1 tablespoon shampoo to a quart of water. I spray every other day for three treatments with very good results.
