Getting rid of SPIDER MITES on a budget....
go to walmart or the grocery store. look for bedding spray. it is used to get rid of lice, but it works for spider mites as well. it uses pyrehrum which is a compund made from chrysanthemum plants. its dissepates quickly with bright light. make sure not to breathe in the vapor. spray well, top and bottom.
is it safe, yes. i've used it on my plants to get rid of thrips and also in my snakes cages for spider mites. it's the same ingredient in dr. doom and the like and even at the grocery store shouldn't cost you more that $6 a can which should last for a bit.
make sure to spray, then wait a few days and spray again, a few more then once again. this will make sure you get all the eggs.
you can also clean your area with a 5% bleach to water solution.
good growing!
