  • Hi there, I've heard that wiping down the leaves with mild dishwashing liquid an warm water does the trick. Hope it helps.

    Add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to a spray bottle filled with water. Mix well. Spray all over the plant, especially under the leaves. Good luck!

    I had them on indoor plants and they spread like wild fire. Get a spray bottle and fill it with rubbing alcohol & water mixture at 1:4 parts and spray completely for days until you no longer see any movement of bugs. I also cleaned away all of the webs I could find initially as well. The picture on the left is my window sill at work today - everything survived! The picture on the right is what I believe was the host plant - it was an outdoor arrangement that I bought and brought inside. The flowers that were planted in the middle were just dug out and tossed to make sure the mites were gone because it was an extremely dense plant and I was afraid I wasn't getting everything.
