| Mix some garlic pepper tea and liquid seaweed every few days. That should eradicate the little beasts! Next, check the health of your soil and the type of plants you have. |

I have found neem oil to be effective on red spider mites. We mix it with our compost tea and add yucca as a sufactant for good coverage. It is important to spray up under the leaves from below.
Spider mites are a good indicator of a moisture problem check the soil with your finger to find out if the plant is too dry or wet. |
