little green bugs

  1. Today I noticed some little greenish yellowish bugs on the underside of the leaves on my biggest plant.

    They seem to be slowly eating away at the lower sets of leaves but I have also seen a few on the top bud.

    They are very small, about the size of the ball in a ball-point pen. they don't fly they only crawl on the undersides of the leaves.

    Does anyone know what these are and how to get rid of them?
     
  2. if the leaves in that area appear as though salt was sprinkeled on the leaves its the dreaded spidermites:confused:

    Neem oil and a drop of dishsoap, spray the plants, undersides of leaves in particular, every 3 days for 2-3 weeks, do not skip a spray the eggs hatch every 3-4 days
     
  3. where can I get Neem Oil?
     
  4. pretty much anywhere with a selection of garden supplies
