Spider Mite Control

Spider mite control that catches an outbreak early

Spider mites double their numbers every few days in a warm tent, so the gap between "a few speckled leaves" and a full infestation is short. SMC Spidermite Control (£12.95, was £14.95) and Guard'n'Aid for Spider Mite (£21.95) are contact sprays for exactly that early stage, while Dynamec (£84.95, was £149.95) and Floramite 240 SC (from £64.95) are the stronger options once mites have taken hold across multiple plants.

For growers running a preventative IPM routine rather than waiting for a problem, SB Plant Invigorator (£9.95), C-Hellfire (from £22.45) and Athena IPM (from £69.95) all work as regular sprays that keep mite pressure down before it's visible. Maven Skram Pest Prevention (from £19.95) and Pyrethrum 5EC (£44.95) round out the range for growers wanting a rotation of active ingredients rather than relying on one product every time.

If you're already seeing damage

Fine speckling on the leaf top and webbing underneath means mites are established, not just arriving — our spider mite emergency guide walks through a 14-day rescue plan if that's where you are.
