    How long does it take neem oil to work on spider mites? Does anybody have any good ways to get rid of spider mites? I have caught them early need some good advice. Thanks

    keep using the neem + buy some pyrethrum foggers. spider mites are resiliant little fuckers, just keep on spraying!

    I got some liquid ladybug, says it can be used everyday, and super safe!! Can be used up to day of harvest! Im going to try it with neem oil. I have seen the fogger but a little scared of it. There are very few right now but lots of eggs, and thats what liquid ladybug is suppose to kill. I will let you know how it works and how fast. Thanks bro.

    Neem oil is a surfactant. It will kill some small insects by suffocation if sprayed directly on them.

    Green Light "Fruit Tree Spray" is an excellent product that utilizes pyrethrum extract, sassafras extract, and neem oil. It can be used on any plants -- edible or otherwise. Here's the manufacturer's page:
