" Hot, dry conditions are often associated with population build-up of spider mites. Under optimal conditions (approximately 80 °F or 27 °C), the two-spotted spider mite can hatch in as little as 3 days, and become sexually mature in as little as 5 days. One female can lay up to 20 eggs per day and can live for 2 to 4 weeks, laying hundreds of eggs. A single mature female can spawn a population of a million mites in a month or less. This accelerated reproductive rate allows spider mite populations to adapt quickly to resist pesticides, so chemical control methods can become somewhat ineffectual when the same pesticide is used over a prolonged period " (Wikipedia)
lipps Reviewed by lipps on . Spider mites So I have done alot of reading on this lovely site again. We are fighting Spider mites, and I want to know, is there anything I can plant near the girls to deture the nasty little fuggers? We did the spray with the pesticides and crap. I have orageno and other fragrant plants like garlic that I think should help. I need your input asap!!! Rating: 5
