I also make sure my plants don't touch, which saved me a lot of heartache when I discovered mealy bugs on one of my succulents since I did not find any on the plants around it.

Really good points here about the webbing being waterproof and needing to really get in there and remove the stuff, I personally find that the gloved hand method of rubbing the spray into the leaves works best too :)

Also in bad cases, dunk that thing in a bucket of soapy water, yes it works!

[austinjk]

I use the same exact method, works great! I call it the Spray and pray method! ...Spray then Pray the spider mites don’t come back lol great videos thank you !

I had the worst time with fungus gnats. I had to repot all my plants, and was starting to get them back and you said that you bottom water your plants and it works. And it did! What a difference. Thank you.

Just did this almost 2 weeks ago for spider mites on my Calathea and it 100% worked! I used a soft makeup brush instead of rubbing leaves with my hands and my shower to spray the plant down 👌🏻

[JMathes-swzt]

I have found on the outdoor bushes, I just spray with soapy water every 3 days for a week or so.
Then I keep an eye out. Seems to work well!

[rhondafisher]

Great to actually see someone treating the plants step by step. Great video, thank you.

I love your videos, Ashley! I was never really into houseplants until I started watching your videos. You have taught me the names of the plants, how to care for them, and everything in between! Now I stroll through Home Depot, Lowes, the local nurseries around the greater Atlanta area, naming the plants as I go. My house is full of beautiful plants. I'm obsessed and love my new hobby! Thank you so much and keep up the great work!!

Thank you so much for sharing your methods against spider mites. I have had so many recurring issues with evil and malicious spider mites. Your method is hard core, and it sounds to me like a fantastic resource. 👍👍

[KerryRussellRN]

It never occurred to me to scrub the leaves…very very smart!

[tinamarieussery]

Thanks knock on wood my problem is figus nats and i fixed it with appying cinnamon to my soil monthly

[fiona]

This is very helpful advice. Thanks, Ashley!

I wasn’t sure of the best way to use this product. Thank you! Please, also, see the Ohio Gardener’s channel about making Neem compost tea. Neem comes in a cake, as an additive kind of mulch to add to soil before planting. You can make a tea from the cake. I am not sure of any oil content when making the tea, but you can flush pots and spray it on plants. If there are any mites that have burrowed into pots, this might help. Thank you again for sharing your technique!😊❤

Thank you so much for the tips sharing! 😗

[marieclark]

Hi Ashley👋 well thank you for the help always enjoy it when you show what works for you well you really gave some good tips and I really appreciate that thank you for this video

[desereesantillanes-torrez]

I started using a homemade mixture that I got from Liqui-Dirt's YouTube channel. It's worked with one treatment! I did re-treat it a week later. It works for most pest!

[kdexpressoo]

When you look at the number of dust mites, plant mites, spiders...so many. I think were all out numbered :/
I guess too where when the weather warms, and you want to open window to give plants sun on a shelf or whatever.
You may want to use a mild deterrent outside around that open window area!!

[leosautreuil]

i just got rid of the thrips on my plants but i’ll make sure to use your method to prevent them next time! thank you!! 🌱💚

[BinuralOdyssey]

Agreed that the systemic doesn't do much for the mites.

[lorirober]

Excellent, encouraging video--thank you much!
