Neem and other oils should be used following directions at best. Over use of oils can suffocate the plant.


I have an organic oil spray recipe I have used for years but being oil based , if used to heavily , I have seen die back of growing points .

Still, all in all , spraying the leaves with water , daily , on both sides of the leaves is still the best general method .

IMO , one of the best chemical mite killers is AVID but this should never be used near any food stuff or water run off because of it's toxicity
