Default Re: Siam Ruby Problems

Spider mites suck. I have had a outbreak with them this year. Never had any bug problems with banana's before. Not sure the reason,we are 15ft off the ground and wind does blow into the balcony. But I think it just might stay to hot and not even frsh air maybe. I went ahead and cut alot of leaves off and sprayed Ortho insect soap. Seems like it worked,but have acouple mites here and there. Found three red ones. What worries me is it says to spray weekly-biweekly. I would think thats not often enough to keep them under control to kill them off? Good luck man.
