Spidermites

When I researched spidermites, I found there was no one place that had everything I was looking for!

I wanted to know what spider mites were, how do you get spider mites, how do you kill spider mites, what their predators where and what spider mite treatments where available. I also wanted to know which spider mite treatments worked. What I have done is put all this information here for you to use because I had one hell of a time getting rid of these little bastards!
I have looked at a lot of information and spent a lot of time trying to find a solution to my mite problem. I found a lot of good info but nothing seamed to work so I figured first of all you have to know your enemy! You have to know it’s needs and weaknesses! You have to know what is out there that has worked! You need to have all the information you can get in one easy to access place.
The only thing I can tell you is that if you get these little buggers, they are extremely hard to get rid of!
I would warn anyone that if you get plants or cuttings from anyone, you should quarantine them for a week or so! This will save you a lot of heartache and expense!
I can only hope this site saves someone else the problems I had and if you think you have a better solution or better information, I hope you will share it here.
