The people of compulsive person is often compared to the mite. And not in vain - to get rid of this "creature", in fact, it can be quite difficult, especially if the tick - spider and live on houseplants.

In the fight against spider mites on houseplants, you can expect to win in only one case - if the time to detect the danger and know how to act! Therefore, if you want your green "pets" were safe, read carefully, trying not to miss anything.

A look at the enemy in this case is not quite simple: it traces (typical spider web between the stem of the plant and its branches, leaves) do not appear immediately. So you need to look for small white spots on the leaves and stems.

All in order

Once the pest is detected, an urgent need "intensive care" - a separate "house" and emergency measures. We operate in four stages:

  1. Very carefully remove the plants with all the damaged parts: Should not remain a single chamber, the affected jaws.
  2. Setting up a plant in shower - directly in the bath under strong pressure of water. If this is not possible - wipe plant soap-alcohol solution.

  4. When the plant obsohnet, sprinkle its special preparation or folk remedy. What exactly - will talk about below, it is very important! Processed flower for three hours (no more!) Covers package.
  5. In order to avoid "relapse", Pan pot plants rescued scalded with boiling water, and the sill (as well as glass and frames) or shelf, where there was a "sick" is thoroughly washed with warm water and soap.

Very important!

  • In order to spider mites are not infected the rest of the plants treated with the drug for prevention need all the vegetation in the house. And the pots in all colors wash out with soap.
  • A week later, the whole procedure must be repeated, otherwise tick can return.

than cure

The choice of drug to combat spider mites depends on the degree of infestation of the plant.

  1. If the disease is just beginning, gentle enough funds. I use "Nissoran" or "tick-borne" - inexpensive little dangerous to humans and harmless to pets. They also can be used for prophylactic treatment.
  2. When the tick has already severely damage plant - take the "Neoron" or the "Oberon". It is moderately hazardous substances, so you need to handle it carefully.
  3. For the lost colors applied "chemotherapy" - "Demitan COP." When using it, I recommend to wear a respirator. The outcome of such treatment is projected in only two ways: either the "patient" dies, or - will survive. But to lose here, as they say, nothing.
Important! To carry out all processing should be only in rubber gloves: contact of chemicals with your integument is extremely undesirable.

Folk remedies

Refer to the "grandmother's recipes" is only in the case if the plant is not severely damaged or - for prevention. My plants have not subjected to attacks by spider mites, but once a quarter I sprinkle them one of infusions:

  • tobacco (Leaves and stems): 40-50 grams of crushed plants per 1 liter. water, prior to use need to be diluted in half with water;
  • hot pepper: 100 g raw fruit per 1 liter. water;
  • Onion peel: '50 2.5 liters. water, leave 5 days;
  • garlic: 500 g (Finely milled) to 3 liters. water, infuse 5 days. The infusion filter, before spraying diluted twice with warm water.

To the solution adheres better to the plant, I add to it laundry soap, Which gives and additional antibacterial effect.

  • Another proven remedy: Ammonia. If your "green pets" are subject to constant attack tick for the transplant immerse the entire flower in a solution of water and ammonia. The plant will not be any harm, and the tick - "citizen not to abuse" - alcohol is not digested absolutely!
