buy a bunch of Live Lady Bugs and let them go inside; High Sierra Lady Bugs is where I buy mine they eat other pests too
I have used a mixture of a small amount of dish soap with water in a spray bottle on my houseplants but I don’t know with a greenhouse. Might work though.
Thanks everyone!
Hi Uvet, you can try a non-chemical control, by spraying with soapy water. Dawn dish detergent works well. Something has to be making the webs, and this would smother mites.
