How to Get Rid of Spider Mites Indoor and Outdoor

Although they are usually grouped with insects, there is a large group of plant pests that are not insects but eight-legged arachnids closely related to spiders and ticks. These mites are extremely small, 1/60th to 1/25th of an inch in size, and are usually recognized by the fine web of silk that spins over plants and the general damage they cause to plant foliage.

Mites feed by sucking plant juice from leaves, often leaving them with a mottled, yellow, dry appearance, or covered in pale yellow spots or patches.

In conifers, mites often cause older indoor needles to turn yellow and then fall off. Spider mites can also absorb chlorophyll, causing small white dots to appear on the leaves. Some mites inject toxins into the leaves, discoloring and distorting them.

If you see any of these symptoms, especially apart from some fine white cobwebs on the leaves, they are most likely spider mites. Keep scrolling to discover an amazing method to get rid of them, indoor and outdoor.
