Ingredients
- 1 c. Rubbing alcohol
- 3 c. Water
- 1/8 c. Dawn dishwashing detergent
Directions
- NOPE! This isn't a recipe.....but I sure wanted to keep this! -Glen
- ) Are spiders harmful to plants
- No, they are beneficial, since they eat pests that attack/damage plants.
- Except when they are babies, that can confound the picture for maybe a day or possibly two, spiders mostly are larger than, say, 1/8" across (finger-to-toe), and do not travel in herds. ) I recently moved to a new apt, and my ) plants are now the home to many small spiders. From what I've read, ) these do not seem to be spider mites, but I'm not certain. Spraying ) with soap cured the problem for about an hour. Any advice
- Many mites, on the other hand, e.g. spider mites, are in the set of damage causers. Different types of spider mites vary of course, but most are 1mm or possibly smaller across (finger-to-toe), and once established tend to exist in great population densities, like hundreds per leaf.
- There are biological controls for spider mites, including various predatory mites.
- gnats are controlled by spraying with a mix of: 1 C. rubbing alcohol 3 C. water 1/8 C. Dawn dishwashing detergent
- so maybe this will work for spider mites, too. I'll probably try it this year - last summer spider mites ate up all my eggplant plants. The life cycle of spider mites is such which mite control spray programs usually specify spraying at least three times, a week apart.
