Miticide

There are several different types of mites that can affect both indoor and outdoor plants, ranging in size and color.  One of the most common and easiest to recognize are spider mites.  They produce fine webbing and will feed from a wide variety of plants.

Miticides often vary in the mites they target and the quickness of their kill rate.  It is important for gardeners to know what type of mites their plants are infested with before selecting a particular miticide, so they don’t affect insects are beneficial.

Most Miticides are available in a spray form and it is important to focus on the undersides of plant leaves when spraying.
