Thanks for this Scott, tried it on my roses today so will follow your advice and come back in 3 day to retreat and check.They are house plants that mean alot to me so hope this blasts the bugs!!

Great video. Spider mites are hard to capture moving around. Sure do cause major damage. Thanks for this info. Will help a lot of people to recognise these little plant thieves..

Hiya Scott! I feel confident going to battle the spider mite infestation on my indoor creeping jenny thanks to you! My creepy jenny is a fighter tho, got her at a nursery over the summer - three clear eggs and a scary half inch mystery larvae were living around the roots. I used neem oil extract and water but now I know I can add soap to it! I also did not know you could use canola oil, that's awesome!

thank you so much those macro shots

great video Scott, thanks for sharing this!

For my potted plants, I also found that moving them into my shower and “hosing” them off with my detachable shower head and then applying neem oil helped too. Between sprays I also think I’m gonna try checking my leaves daily, wiping them down with alcohol on a microfiber cloth, and then gently misting them with water to keep the environment from getting dry enough to keep those suckers happy. Thank you for all your info

It was nice to see you today. Always learned so much from you.

Neem Oil is some good stuff! Awesome job done showing how you take care of your spider mites.

Thanks for the info! I am growing a few summer and winter squash this year. I've never had success with squash, powdery mildew and now I wonder if I had some of the spider mites. I'm quite up north from you so mine aren't in the garden yet, but I will pick up some neem oil and be ready! On another topic, I purchased my first fig starting's. I finally found a hearty variety for my 6B zone. I see that you are quite a fig grower! As a matter of fact, that might be what inspired me to buy these plants. I was looking to see if you had a playlist of your fig videos and I didn't see one. Are there any you would recommend for a newbie fig grower? Thanks so much!

Great intro .

Hey friends thanks for that idea. New here and now that is my problem so I found your video.

I am in North Forida, and this is my first year trying to grow vegetables, it has rained so much, that i have lost many battles, however, i dont want to stop trying. Spider mites and worms are the worst, they seem to be eating everything in no time. Thank you for posting.

The only thing I don’t like about Neem is usually I have to apply it many times to eliminate pests. I hope it works better for you. 👍🏻

Best info on spider mites. They really infest very quickly. I was amazed.

Wow, Scott those spider mites really got a hold of that spinach. Neem is a great way to deal with spider mites, another great product which is also organic is SB plant invigorated, this is a soap-based solution, both of these will help with spider mites. Ideally catching them before they get to this stage though. Time to get the folia sprayer working and dealing with them. Great video Scott. Hope you get on top of them quickly. Tony

Last year I grew my first zucchini plant and I had spider mites but I didn’t know what they were and my plant just died off with only a few zucchini having been taken off. I wasn’t sure what to do and had hoped that just washing them off in the morning with a Hose spray might take care of them,but now I see that they are in fact a bug which needs to be smothered out over a bit of time. Thanks for the demonstration here. I’ll be ready this season!

Wettable sulphur 2 TBSP per gallon works for spider mites

Another good/ great product is safers insecticide soap. Really is a safe product to use and knocks them out!

Great info and you're the only one who's mentioned the little bit of info I've been after. I knew they could travel on the wind but wasn't sure if they blew around like a spec of dust or did it the same way some spiders do by parachuting on a tiny piece of silk. I suspected they probably did. It makes sense with them being so small, but I wasn't sure. But I suspect they probably got into my grow room because I wasn't careful enough after being in the garden though. I thought it might happen sooner or later and I'd tried to be careful, but not careful enough apparently. Oh well, ya live and learn I suppose.

Thank you

Tks am in Texas 👌 🎥 u help a million

Thank you for this info. Do you have experience with spinosad as well? Between insecticidal soap, spinosad, and neem, it's hard for me to determine which is better for a big battle. Love your channel!

I need some neem oil! I’ll look for cold pressed. Great video

Thank you for showing what to do to kill the mites off your plants .Where do i get neem oil .

Scott you're the best man!

Thank u!!!

"phoebe, i'm workin here" 🖤🖤🖤

tihnk I got me the same problem on my cuks, zuks and beans... thanks for posting!

The other ingredient in your neem oil contains the spreader sticker. These are proprietary from one company to another.

Great video, thanks! Did anyone else spot the lizard at 4:39? 😄

I used a systemic pesticide for my colocasia plants since I had a terrible infestation. One of my plants is better but I found out the other one still had a lot. I'm scared of that pesticide so I'm giving neem oil a try. Thanks for the info, I'm gonna follow your advice. Also, that lizard was adorable! I loved that shot.

Looks like you had some beneficial predatory mites attacking the little lighter bad mites. Does the neem kill the good ones or?? I also have praying mantis that hatched and some lacewing larvae but a bad mite issue…

How long after spraying do you see a change in your leaves? Also, do the leaves green back up or do they stay the lighter color due to the damage?

This video made me itch 😅

Would be nice to see an update

That’s all I use in my garden neem oil mixed in water and dish soap

you had 56 ounces in your bottle,, that is closer to a 1/2 gallon ( 64 oz ) One gallon is 128 oz. The amount of Neem you added was way too much which can really burn your plants that are sensitive to Neem oil. Use 1/4 of an ounce to 32 oz of water is much safer and still super effective. Free pouring your neem in the sprayer is not good either Scott. You really need to measure accurately. Like your video and not trying to do anything but help with this problem of spider mites. Works great on aphids too!

Great video, Scott. My complete room has an infestation of spider mites.. I'm using a mixture of 96% water, 2% green dish soap, and 2% methylated alcohol myself; seems to do the trick as well. I'm wondering if adding sunflower/olive oil would help in terms of "sticking" the liquid more on the plant. What do you think?

As an amateur gardener I just realized the cause of my beans dying is spider mites. Unfortunately they are completely infested and I think it might be too late to save them.

Hope Neem oil will kill those annoying pests, will you do an update video？Say hi to Sam!

I noticed that I do not get mite issues unless everything is super dry and super hot and the plants are stressed out. I also noticed water spray keeps the mites down enough for me. Same with the white flies when I used to get them. I am now in a place that seems to be too dry for them. But I used to just spray under the leaves with water, disturbing them. It lessened them to where there were barely any white flies. After awhile, my plants were essentially free of white flies. I think it was not just water. They also do not like disturbance. Nowadays, if I see white flies, the first thing I do is just shake the leaf or plant. For some reason, if they cannot settle, they move on. Generally away from my garden.

I'm having an awful time with spider mites on my potted ground cherries. I believe the plants are past the point of saving, so I am curious if I can reuse this (otherwise) good soil, or does it need to be tossed? Can spider mites survive in soil to reinfest my next planting? Thank you for your great videos, I do enjoy them and have learned tons!

Hey Scott, would you see horticultural and dormant spray oil as a great substitute for neem oil? I'm working on a croton that now has spider mites.

Thank you Scott, Would it be better to cut away the infested part of our blackberry patch, rather then trying to spray them? The plants are done producing for the year.

My spider mites seem to be in the ground eating the bottom stem of my seedlings?

Spider mites are so strong in most cases the plants will die before they die

I've been using this on indoor plants. It helps in the early stages really well and ok in the later stages. I use it every three days but in between i wash the leaves with a micro fiber cloth then the other two days I spray water really heavy to drown them. I never let up! Always spray right before the lights go off.

Hey scott.know this is late but i never had spider mites till today.fortunately i caught them ,just a few small batches on 1 determinate tomatoe plant.not flowering anymore.i,m afraid they may get on my cukes and they are flowering heavy.the bumblbees love them, neem will kill bumblees ,yes.? Alternative in case i do have to treat.spray after dark maybe.residue though.love our bbees.

I bought some Neem oil today. Although I was introduced to it in the 90s. My indoor plants got attacked this wintertime indoors.

I like your sprayer! My dwarf meyer lemon tree is getting attacked by spider mites! It's potted and indoors It's Christmas day (Merry Christmas!) and I don't have any neem oil. :-( Should I use soapy water until I get my hands on some Neem Oil? I don't want to loose my tree. Thanks!

Can I mix ready use spray like this? Or does it need to be concentrate

I bought a potted tomatoes plant. The leaves looked droopy a few days ago. I figured it was the extreme heat. Today they looked yellow. So I took a closer look and found tons of spider mites. There was even webs all over. I borrowed the apartment complex’s hose and gave the plant a good spray down. The actual fruit seems okay (they’re still pretty small and green.) But the leaves don’t look great. Is it too late for it?

I have sprayed my bonsai for spider mites. I never see mites just small strands of webs you can see when the sun hits just right. Not sure if l have spider mites.

3:55 got yourself a green lizard crawling underneath that aluminum bowl :p

I was told a Mitacide is necessary for spider mites. I am leary about neem oil.

I literally have to spray my black berry plants every 2 DAYS! I'm sooo SICK OF IT!!!!

spider mites basically ruined my whole life this year sadly.. I was taken totally unawares by them I didnt even know the signs to look for em. oh well ill get em with this stuff next year

What kind of sprayer are you using ?

I’m in Southern Florida, Gulf coast, and the insects are ever present and unrelenting.. spider mites are always there. Need oil seems to help, but it is a never ending battle.

Where did you get that wonderful sprayer?

Thank you for this video. I have a bunch of tomato plants growing. And I had put up some bamboo sticks to help raise the tomatoes off the ground. I did see some webbing on the cherry tomatoes and also on the leaves. I just thought it was actual spiders. But then it started to cover the entire plant. And these tomatoe plants I have a large and growing crazy on the ground wildly. One day I started to notice literally thousands of red bugs on top of each of the bamboo sticks and up and down the stems. I zoomed in with a macro lenses and thought actual spider eggs had hatched. looked like they were reaching for the heat and sun. I live in southern california. So I got some insecticide made from chrsanthemum extract. It seemed to kill the ones that came in contact with the spray but the next day they were back. Only after seeing some vids do I now know they aren't actual spiders but spider mites with explains the webbing. I had cut some leaves off and throw them in my green waste bin and the next morning there were spider mites all around the rim of the waste bin even with the lid shut. So long story short, thanks to your video, I know now a safe way to kill them all with neem oil. And if in a pinch can just use soap and water. I assume dish soap will do? Thanks for the information and video. Thumbs up!

I think spider mites have turned my entire hibiscus a yellowing green and the blooms have hardened and stopped blooming. Will killing the pests save my plant at this point?? Or is it too late?!😭

how can you destroy spider mites eggs and the earliest stadium of them? i only have that with the most recoommended treats... is used neem-oil and lady bugg larves (better than grown ones)

Could you tell me if this works on tomato plants please ?. God bless

Habe you ever used it as a soil drench? I keep reading about it but can't find if the solution is the same or how often to use it. Great video!

I used bran new organic matter on my green beans and im growing inside. I grew cucumbers and out of no where i got spider mites... Again. Last year they wiped out my green beans and cucumber but i couldnt stop them... Neem, alcohol, peroxide nothing worked.

Does Canola oil really work equally as well?

that looked like an 8 tsp pour

No need to ph water for sprayer mix?

My gardens been getting hit bad lately with little pests but we've had so much rain i havent had a chance to get out and spray. I tried dish soap alone before on my muscadine vine but that honestly didnt work sure enough though i added in neem oil and what a difference it made. Oh and i seriously love that pump on the fish emulsion you have! What a great idea did you buy it like that or put the pump on yourself?

What is the Azadirachtin ppm in your neem oil?

Silly questing but what do u call that pump bottle. .

Great video but I've never heard someone call swiss chard spinach before.

I did not have neem oil I use fur needles oil i just need to slow them down for 2 day and get some predators to eat them my poor cannabis plants

do you have any idea if this safe on Venus flytraps?

Is it safe to use neem oil on leafy greens to eat ?

How much soap do you add to it?

I have a cat problem lol I put a fence up but they still get in y boxes is there anything I can put out that isnt harmful to detour them from pooping in the garden lol

Where did you purchase your TheraNeem Neem Oil for the garden ?

I applied every 2 or 3 days and right after rain. But them mites are hard to control. Ladybugs are going up this year and wasps down.

I gotten some neem oil today organic in a spray bottle already made. me and my mom had to take turns spraying it on our plants LOL we had bugs and squash eggs on our squash and our tomato plants. after that experience we came in and bought a spray bottle and bliss pure neem oil cold press lol.

I make sure my Neem Oil has “Azadactrine” in it

I've read that spider mites need only 5 days from being born to producing the next generation.

TY for info 1.did U not notice your garden before a full blown infestation? 2. Things are too costly to not measure ingredients doubt it was anywhere near 4tsps🙄 Have your equipment near esp. for a video

Water will scorch some plants. It's not a myth, I've seen it

My spidermites are red not brownish/black

Everything on my patio gets infested with these. They kill all my tomatoes no matter what I do.

Have you ever used all natural ingredients that you can still eat ? You chop up 10to12 habonaros peppers and put on the stoe in a 2quart pot in a quart of water and simmer it for 45mins to an hour till it burns your eyes when you put your eyes over it. Strain it squeeze n mash the seeds n pulp up but dont get any pulp in you water cause when you put it in the sprayer it will clog it. This will burn the mites rite off the plant. Do 3 applications every 1day then every 2 days. Wash after this and use if needed again. But you should be bug free for awhile.

Meem oil will not kill spider mites.

Mix the Neem oil and soap product together BEFORE you add water. The mix will stay mixed much longer and provide a better overall treatment.

Organics? Naw, that's why a lot of farmers were put into perpetual poverty. Good luck pardner. Eaglegards...

Ants also carry aphids to the top where the newest growth is. KILL EM ALL‼️😂 Btw, you’re using a 1/2 gallon sprayer and doubled the recipe. 🤦🏻‍♂️

No reason to use been nowadays. Much better natural products. And now they are so cheap no reason not to use them.

No offense you should first be measuring the neem and the soap Second the soap you are using should be Castile soap / no chemicals, third and most importantly you should test the solution on the plants for 24 hours
