    Just noticed some spider mites on one of my plants. It's going to be below freezing tonight. If I open a window and let it get into the thirties in the room will that kill the mites?

    By the time it gets cold enough to kill the Mites the plant will be dead too.
    32 F
    0 C
    Or lower to kill the mites. If temp drop is gradual enough many will move to the soil to hibernate for the "Winter".
