Spider Mite Emergency Kit — Stop an Outbreak This Week
Speckled leaves? Fine webbing? You likely have spider mites — and they double in number every 3–4 days. Act today, not this weekend.
The Spider Mite Emergency Kit
Everything you need to stop an outbreak this week, picked by the team at our Wembley shop. Order by 3pm Mon–Thu for next-working-day delivery, or collect from the shop today — usually ready within 24 hours.
What's in the kit
- A dedicated mite spray — see our in-stock mite controls → (spray every 3 days, 4 sprays minimum, coating the underside of every leaf)
- Yellow sticky traps ×6 — your early-warning system so a comeback never surprises you
- Clip-on circulation fan — mites love still, hot, dry corners; constant airflow makes your canopy hostile territory
- Temp & humidity meter — keeping RH above 55% slows their breeding cycle dramatically
The 14-day rescue plan (short version)
- Day 1: isolate the worst plants, remove heavily-webbed leaves into a sealed bag, spray everything — undersides first.
- Days 3, 6, 9, 12: repeat sprays. You're breaking the egg→adult cycle, so consistency beats strength.
- Throughout: run the clip fan 24/7, keep RH 55–65%, check traps and undersides daily.
- Day 14: no new speckling and clean traps = you've won. Keep traps up permanently.
