SMC Spider Mite Control 100ml Organic Pest Killer for Plants

The media could not be loaded. The product works very well and gives the leaves a nice healthy sheen. It has also taken care of the spider mites I was facing with my plant.I would say if you have an indoor plant that you want to treat take your plant outdoors to spray it as if you get the spray on a table or glass it gets a bit messy to clean, but nothing soap and water can’t get rid off.Highly recommend this spray.

I purchased this product as I have an issue with microscopic spider mites.I've used home-made solutions, such as a mixture of neem oil and fairy liquid, which is effective, but the preparation is time consuming as neem oil doesn't dissolve well with water.So I turned to this spider mite control - the preparation is simple: pour a quarter of the content (25mL) into 1L of water, mix well, then spray onto the plants.I applied to my plants just before leaving on a 5 day break two weeks ago. On my return, I was surprised to find this spider mite control was still coating all the leaves. My pots were also greasy. I had to spray fresh water to rinse off the product and wash the pots with soapy water. Some of the product still resides on the leaves, making them very shiny/waxy.Maybe it's designed to work this way, by leaving a thin film of oil to kill mites, but it's a rather messy process, so 1 star knocked off.As for the mites? Time will tell whether it has been effective.

I had a spider mite infestation for quite a while, but didn't realise it. I thought normal spiders were just building cobwebs on my miniature rose plant, and the leaves were dry as it needed repotting. It was like this for months, gradually getting worse. However after repotting it and washing off the cobwebs it got even worse. After a quick Google search, I realised what the issue was, spider mites, but thought it was too late for my plant. All the leaves were dead and it was completely covered in the webs.I ordered this in a desperate attempt to save the plant. After treatment there were no leaves left, and I wasn't sure if the plant would make it. However a week later, new leaves have started to grow, and 2 weeks later, my plant is full of leaves again and looking healthy. Not a spider mite or cobweb in sight!

100% delt with the spidermite.... HOWEVER..... all of my plants now look like they are plastic/fake! This stuff leaves a horrid oily film on everything it touches. It ruins any velvety leaves. Makes all your pots and surfaces greasy so every spot of dust sticks to them and can clog up your sprayer.I have misted/sprayed my plants with water and wiped the leaves with water baby wipes repeatedly and 6 weeks later ..... shiny shiny shiny! A lot of the white areas on my variegated plants have also gone brown and mushy since using this stuff. An issue I have never had before!It does kill mites though!

5/5

Diluted the product in water and sprayed leaves exactly as directed for preventative treatment only due to one new plant that I had doubts about. The product left an oily residue on my plants. These photos are after 24 hours. After a few days the leaves were all damaged and dying (around 20 calathea of various types) so I tried gently rinsing the product off the leaves with lukewarm slightly soapy water. This has stopped the damage progressing but many leaves were already too far gone. The warscewiczii pictured here had been flowering until a few weeks ago so my plants were healthy and are now all struggling with many lost, dying and damaged leaves. Since these photos it has lost 4 leaves and another 4-5 will definitely go. I don’t know whether it’s because the oil blocks the pores on the plants leaves but long story short it was killing them all and they are going to take months or years to recover to their original state.

It is very effective but needs regular dosing in hot weather

I have used this, but it takes time to see the results, otherwise I'm happy.
