Red spider looking thinks are eating my strawberry plant.?
are they tiny and quite fast? these are mites.


anyway: dissolve (emulgate) some cooking oil in soapy water and spray very thoroughly (like underside of the leaves too) at regular intervals - the oil clogs their pores and they die. it is absolutely harmless. this way you can control aphids and similar stuff, but thse mites move very fast, so you can never get totally rid of them. normally they dont eat up the plants, they become nuisance in hot spells, so keep the plants well watered, it helps them too. i believe you can buy some chemical stuff that works against them too.





what i said is sold under name: biooil but you can make it yourself at no cost. best works if u use the bubble bath stuff as the soap.so u take one gallon bottle, put as much bubblebath concentrate as in your bath, the same amount of oil and rest water. shake long and well till it is milky





if the plants look oily then, use some soap water and then clean water the next time - to fix it
Reply:my mom said you can sprinkle floor on your crops but i use seven dust and you can put it on how ever many times the directions say maybe once a week a bag should last you till harvest.
Reply:Neem Tree Oil is great for small bugs and molds on plants. It sprays on with a mister, and it is organic and non toxic. It can be bought for less than 10$ at a good garden store, and it will last a long time since it is concentrated.
Reply:If they are itst bitsy things, they are spider mites. Hose the plants down daily or more often as needed. This is the safest method I know to control this little biters.
Reply:sounds like to me you have an aphid problem. Try a product called 7- Dust, sprinkle on plants and should solve problem. Completely safe for edible plants and fruits
