Neem Oil is nasty stuff, and seldom rids the spidermites, anyway (yes, I am what you call a 'Neem-hater' ) ... IF you have an insect problem, just hang a No-Pest Strip in the room ... watch for spidermites with a strong magnifying glass, on the underside of the leaves ,,, but, I think you already know that ... a regular spider, is always welcome in my garden :smokin:
