Goddammed little spider mites in my tea rose plant. I've had the plant for about a month, and they just showed up like yesterday. I've had them before
in a different species of plants, a LONG time ago, and my only recourse back then was to throw it out. I really REALLY don't wanna hafta throw this one.
Anyone PLEASE have some ideas that work?? In the past I've tried any of: ice water on the underside of the leaves, dishsoap, and sealing it in a plastic
bag.

The neighbor lady swears by spraying oil on it,I guess she uses cooking oil.
And someone on here mentioned using some kind of oil that also works on scabies..Google it/ |

so i had this spider egg hatch above (and on) my door a couple nights ago. i'm kind to spiders so i just left it alone when i saw it, but later on that
night i walk through the door and BOOM! my head is covered in tiny spiders as the web of them falls down. i had to re-shower and do a load of laundry. later
some of the tiny spiders didn't move along with the rest of their group over to the porch light fixture and came to the inside of the door instead and i
had to vacuum them up. i think these crazy spiders tried the same shit last year

yeah escapist, I put it in direct sun about two weeks ago. Out of the sun it goes, I'll try the rubbing alcohol. And maybe the Raid at the same time.
