Jack's Spider Mites

From: Don Burns donburns at macconnect.com> on 2001.01.10 at 03:48:19(5838) Jack, I do not like the idea of using toxic chemicals indoors for any reason, especially during the winter with windows closed and the furnace (or whatever you heat with) is circulating and recirculating air throughout the house. I don't grow in the house - fortunately no need to here in 10b. Suggest you try my favorite outdoor "insecticide" that I use on the Aroids when necessary only. I mix 1/2 teaspoon of Ivory liquid dishwashing soap (not detergent) in one gallon of water, and spray away. I have found this trick, conveyed to me by Tim Anderson in Miami a long time ago, works quite well. And its cheap. Try it before you start spraying toxic stuff around inside.
