Hmmm, I have never heard of either of the predators you are using. I googled longiepies and got nothing. I googled Californiums and only found info on a synthetic element. I was wondering if either of the natural predators created their own webs but cant find info on them. I would remove the webbing by hand for definate. I would also be tempted to bug bomb it... this will kill the natural predators to though. I would let the space airiate big time before introducing lady bugs. They are an age old enemy of the spider mite and I can guarantee they work. This is only what I would do in your situation. Maybe someone knows of the natural predators you have used and can help you more. The pics are mad.... scary, creepy mad!
Wobster Reviewed by Wobster on . SPIDER MITE PREDATORS About 3 weeks ago I purchased some spider mite preditors...longiepies and californiums, within 3 days the plants came back from the dead and grew like mad....5 days ago I noticed webbing on the leaves and web lines dropping down from the tops, the drop lines seemed to be bigger than I remember. I called the place of purchase and they said not to take off webbing, because I might destroy the existing preditors....So I ordered more, they arrived 3 days ago and were applied immediately.
