Q:
How can I get rid of spider mites?
A:
The best solution is a preventative solution. Spider Mites can
suck the life out of a rose bush in just about two weeks if left
untreated.
1.
Remove foliage from ground up about 4 inches. This makes it hard
for the mites to jump up to the lower foliage.
2.
Spray a hard spray of water each day on the under side of the foliage. The mites apparently can't swim and this will also
provide a cool mist for your roses during the hot summer months.
3.
Spray a miticide on a regular basis, such as Avid to control the
mite population.
