How should an interiorscaper deal with an infestation of spider mites? Which ways are least invasive?

What will be an ideal response?


Spider mites are hindered by soaps and oils, so periodic sprays with insecticidal soaps can aid keeping
spider mites from gaining hold on leaves as will increasing humidity and keeping a plant clean. Dust
removal is another benefit of using soap solutions. A simple way of increasing humidity is to set plants
on trays of pebbles. Add water to the tray so that the water line is just below the point where the
pebbles and the bottom of the pot touch. The idea is not to set the plant in water, but to allow water
vapor through evaporation to humidify the air.
