Keep these creepy-crawlies from wreaking havoc with plants, indoors and out, using this all-natural battle plan.
Tiny, sap-sucking arachnids known as spider mites can be a problem any time of year, not only in your garden but plaguing houseplants and greenhouse plants, too. With females able to lay as many as 300 eggs every few weeks, spider mite populations can explode in a matter of days.
Telltale signs that you’ve been infested include:
- speckled leaves
- brownish webbing on the surface of leaves

Instead, go with the simple techniques and non-toxic remedies outlined here for in this guide on how to get rid of spider mites.
