As a beekeeper, I really appreciate you mentioning to spray insecticides after dusk when the honey bees and beneficial insects are not out. Thank you. 🐝
@Leighton Fletcher seriously 😒 you have nothing better to do?
Thanks! I hear all the time to spray in the morning, now I know better and can educate others.
@@keithpugh7538 I can see how it could look that way to you. But I understand why the beekeeper commented and was grateful. The methods other people (not just the beekeepers) learn to use from gardening channels make a massive difference to bee populations. It’s not like a dog who just eats in their own yard, the bees pollinate all over an entire area, and take back traces to the hive. One single bee coming into contact with harmful pesticides can kill an entire hive, and this is what is happening everywhere. If many beekeepers lose their entire hives, this will not just be a problem for beekeepers but the entire human population.
I’d like to start a hive of 🐝 bees
@@JoyfulJenn Many areas have hive rentals. For a nominal fee, the bee keepers place the inhabited hive on your property and tend to all the bees' needs (two or three times a year). I've been delighted with mine!
So for those who can't watch the whole video. It looks like her first step is captain Jack's Deadbug, second step neem oil, third step malathion. Repeat process for another 3 weeks. Always spray at night and then do each step a week apart. Spraying off the whole plant regularly, not just from thr bottom with drip hoses, helps knock off the bugs. Reply in this thread for anything I missed or needs corrected
Hello
How many days aparts in between when spraying with the 3 mentioned treatments?
Thank you

From all the comments on other videos, I feel like the premiere of this was like waiting for the block buster hit of the year for some people! I'm sure everyone being quarantined didn't help😅😅😅 Thank you for all the knowledge!
Kim K ... Lol... from time-to-time she premieres liquid maintenance
The anticipation for this subject matter video with you, was like waiting for George Lucas’ Star Wars prequel trilogy in 1983!!! You continue to teach us so much vital gardening information...priceless!! Because of you, my garden performed beautifully this year and my garden essentials is becoming more stocked with useful tools, sprays, etc. Believe it or not, you’re truly helping me not waste my money and/or time. Thanks Jedi Master!🌱
"Garden Masters!!!"
Geneva Priest totally agree!!
Yes! I agree completely! And to all the people who say that their type of gardening is cost prohibitive and they only look at the scale of Laura and Aaron’s operation, they don’t understand that the knowledge we gain only helps us to not waste our money and time.
Thien Do absolutely! 🌱

Your videos are never too long, no matter the topic. You have a way about you that I could listen to for far longer than any of your videos to date. You educate us, even me, being a much older person, and by now should have learned everything there is to know about gardening. I was truly Blessed the day I stumbled across your channel. Thank you, and your lovely family for being just the way you are and providing us with wholesome entertainment and educating us in the process 💚🙃
Judy McKerrow ... ENTHUSIASM!... is her secret sauce...
Judy McKerrow ... the spider mites even enjoy her company...she even treats them w respect before its journey ends...😩
So-to-speak...
The Monte Phone 😂😂😂💚🙃
Sorry to make 2 comments today, but I want to recognize Aaron and the work he does with editing and adding footage that makes the videos more understandable and enjoyable. I don't know if he does the editing where we can see 4 Laura's working, but those are so beautiful. So thank you Aaron.
Thank you for making this video! As a gardener it’s nice to get more information about specific pest problems. As a toxicologist it makes me really happy to see this, because it is important to use any pesticide safely and effectively. I think it’s great that you guys took the time on your platform to do this in a thorough, yet easy to understand way. Awesome!
Tip: Release lady beetles at dusk or early evening only. In the daytime they will just fly away because of the heat. Spray water on the plant first, it will make them drink the water and may keep them around longer.
You are my most bookmarked site for the "reference" library. You and Aaron make everything so much more understandable 🤔 less scary 😳 and fun 😃 Excellent video! You just eliminated countless hours in my future of standing in front of the pesticide aisle staring blankly in confusion until I give up and "just pick one". TYSM!! Great job! 👍
I needed this video so badly. I'll be watching this video often as a great reminder of what to do each year. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I love your knowledge and trust you.
Much needed information thank you! One thing your viewers might be interested in is the coloring of the labels, as other manufacturers also do this. More benign labels have the gold and paler purple and as the toxicity increases the labels is red and bright purple.
They are related to spiders and relentless. Controling them starting in springtime as soon as the weather begins to warm up seems like a really good goal. My favorite control method and mainstay of my garden remedies is the neem mixed with castille soap on a regular schedule. Unfortunately, I slacked on spraying in late spring and lost some plants. I will be on my toes next spring for sure!
Been waiting for this one! We planted 25 arborvitaes this year, and we don’t want to lose them. They’re still small and tender. I’ll be putting this one in my library. 🥰
So much needed information ~ this segment will go directly into my library.
That is exactly what I was going to write! I'll just like your comment and thank you for it!
This was just the best info for spraying for any insects (just about)! Saving to my library, now! ❤🙂
Hi Laura and Aaron! This was so helpful. It is so nice that you covered all of these products so thoroughly. I know from the comments that everyone really appreciated it. I've purchased several of the products that you've mentioned and have been very pleased with the results. Thankfully I don't have a very big problem with spider mites, but you never know. Thank you so very much for sharing all of the important information with us!
Thanks Laura. Your videos are never too long.
Thank you so much for talking about these. So helpful! Not only for the spider mites but just helps in knowing how to chose proper pesticides.
Thank you for this highly informative video. I appreciate how open and genuine you are about gardening issues AND how you research and talk to experts to bring us the best info possible. Good luck with the spider mite eradication.
Great information, and I’m glad to see that you covered PPE. I would like to add that people should keep their pets inside. Obviously while spraying, but it might be a good idea to keep them away from the area that has been sprayed for the remainder of that day. If your pet needs to go out to go to the washroom, maybe take them out on a leash so that you can control where they go, or better yet, take them on a walk if possible. To be honest, I would keep my children out of the yard for the remainder of the evening as well, but I think that would be very obvious to everyone. Anyway, just some things to think about 😊. I love all of your videos, and I am looking forward to seeing how the new property develops next year 🌻. BTW, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Also, let your neighbors know before you apply. If their windows are open, pesticides may drift in; once indoors -without rain, sunlight, and soil microbes- pesticides take *much* longer to break down. A neighbor’s application of lawn pesticides caused me to have immediate, severe neurological symptoms and left me with chronic health problems still with me 30 years later. Had I known, I could have closed my windows, or left for a while.
Thank you, so much!!! This was so VERY informative and educational! As a 65 plus gardener, I am a firm believer in; "You're never too old to learn". Again.... THANK YOU! 💕 💕 💕
This was a great video! So well done and covered all the points needed! We’re in southeast Ohio but dealing with the same garden issues. Thank you! Just love your channel! ❤️❤️❤️
We deal with spider mites every year. Great knowing how to battle them next time. I would have never thought about using 3 products in succession but it makes total sense. And great job, Aaron, on modeling! You didn’t move around too quickly which makes a huge difference. Excellent video!
Thank you Laura and Aaron. What you said near the end is so true and it is awesome that you took your experiences and did your best to make sure others know exactly what to do with what and how much and how often. Example the 3 different sprays and the stuff to help the spray stick and not run off. Never heard of that before. Stay safe and healthy everyone.
Just found your channel today and have watched sooo many back to back.
You are *EXCELLENT*. So much information (the side note comments you make add so much beneficial and helpful information - your videos impart so much knowledge because of this and the way you teach). Also love how real and genuine you are in the videos.
Your videos are never too long, you always make watching them pleasant and informative. Thank you for posting this, so very helpful. I hope you're all doing well 💗 💓 💕 💜 💖 💛
Thank you Laura! I’m currently battling spider mites in my gardens too.
BTW - Arron is a fantastic model/demonstrator! 😂 ... you two make a frat team. Stay well and keep up the great work.
Definitely the most informative video I’ve seen on these types of pesticides. Thank you!!!
Discovered this video and the timing was perfect as a spider mite jumped on me while I was watering plants. Great video! Thanks so much for doing this. I always enjoy watching you! You do such a nice job with your videos!
Gm and You are sure right I usually use the exact same product that Neem oil work like Magic definitely a solution for most of your garden and plants 🌱👍🏾👍🏾.
I cannot stand bugs 🐜 🐛
-ˏˋteacupsˊˎ- ... Lol... there are pests and there are bugs
You know there’s an unspoken rule about above...and gardening...
Rich Garden Life, worked great for me too!
We’ve found that using Neem Oil on various plants like Hydrangea also keeps the deer from eating them!
This is a wonderful primer on spider mites, you are so thorough! I appreciate your channel and all your hard work!😊
Thank you so much for this. I checked your older videos on spider mites recently to diagnose and treat my garden. This is a much more comprehensive video and now I have a regimen to hopefully prevent an infestation next year.
Thank you so much! This was awesome. I have just learned that the problem with my mini spruce is spider mites. I had no idea what to buy. I found your video & learned SO MUCH including WHEN to spray so as not to disturb the pollinators. You are so knowledgeable and your enthusiastic style is very engaging. Thank you!
I’m so glad you covered the proper safety measures one should take before spraying plants with insecticides. Early in my gardening life I used Malathion on some very persistent spider mites. I did not wear the proper attire an became very sick, because I poisoned myself. I have asthma and had to be taken to the hospital and was there a few days. I’m so thankful that you covered proper use and protection. As always your video gave us all the information for proper use and also gave much needed steps to protect oneself. Thank you Laura and Aaron! You are the best! Also, Aaron you’re just showing us all what a great man, father and husband you are for protecting Laura, the baby and Benjamin from these pesticides. You ROCK!
This is so helpful! I live in southern Arizona which is usually hot and dry but even our rainy monsoon season was a hot, dry heaven for spider mites this year and I lost over half of my little back yard garden to spider mites and white fly this summer. I didn’t know about the eggs not being killed by the spray and needing to change the spray from week to week. I am hopeful that armed with this information next year will go much better for my garden.
And protection glasses! Thanks Laura, really appreciate the information! Hugs🤗🤗💜
Russell just had to photobomb, of course LOL
That was excellent Laura. Thank you. I work at a garden center and I even learned something new today. I don't usually use the synthetic sprays because I don't like them but I think it's imperative that we all know something about them and what they actually do and especially their residual effects. Well done!
The way you broke it down is so helpful! I don't find Bonide's website to be as helpful as it could be.
Finally it’s here. Thanks for the solution for it.
New gardener here . This video is a big help . Thank you so much
I’m on a major learning curve for gardening 👩🌾 Didn’t know there was sooo much to look out for! 😅Thanks to channels like yours, I’m learning quickly! Thank you
Very informative and helpful - particularly the idea of cycling the sprays so the pests don't become resistant. Brilliant tip! Thank you!
Yes! I have been waiting for this video. Thank you for having all of this info in the same place.
Thanks so much for taking the time to go into detail on this subject. I just saw this damage and the fine webs on some plants this morning. Heading to the garden center now.
This is the best organised and most informative spider mite video I've seen. Thank you. 🌱💚
Oh my gosh. This was timed perfectly!!! I’ve been struggling all week!!!
Right on time. I am presently dealing with a similar problem and was not sure what type of insect it was. Now that I know it is spider mites I can identify it sooner.
Questions:
1. How long does the insecticide stays active on the plant?
2. If it rains, does it have to be applied again and how soon?
3. How long before I can shower the plants after applying the insecticide?
4. Should the top soil around the plant be removed and replaced with clean soil?
Thank you for such excellent video. It was short and succinct!! Great job!!
Maria Folch I think 2 or 3 hours are enough after you have sprayed it. But better check it out with the garden centre you buy your product from. And they will tell you when to apply it again.
If its something like Neem that is oil based then it will not immediately wash off (you'd have to check label for how often to reapply). As to your soil, you do not need to dig your soil out but you can give the area that is affected a good dusting w/ sulfer powder. This will suffocate them.
I’m so glad your covering this. So many people don’t bother reading the labels or do research before they pick up a bottle. I’ve heard more people tell me they sprayed neem oil and damaged the leaves. I’ll ask did you do it in the middle of the day. Yup.....ugh and also they didn’t think about the beneficials 🐝
We deal with Broad mites( spider mites cousin) that like humid conditions and in our greenhouse is our nemesis.
Thank you for all the information. Very helpful. I will inevitably have to refer back to this video as problems arise. There is just so much to know. Each year my garden gets bigger, so do my garden issues. Always nice to have a resource to fall back on.
Great video! I’ll watch this one several times. Thank you.
Thank you for all this information. I had no idea all of the different types of pest control. This will give me so much more confidence to know what I'm looking for and what to ask about next time I have a bug issue. Thanks again, especially for the ppe info. You two do such a wonderful job and inspire me to dream and get out in my garden again 😊
Oh my goodness, I have been waiting so long for this video!! My boxwoods thank you!!
Laura, you are such a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for running us through all the products and suggestions. Pollinators are such a big deal to me as well, but if your flowers die, what will they have to munch on? Lol I think being consistent for a while will help. 🤞You guys are the best! 💕🌻
What Tracy fr Minnesota said - from NWIiowa here. Also,,,,THANK YOU for ALL the info you provided on this!! SO beneficial to us. ALso......LOVE the succulent planter in the back that still looks SO good! I usually have a succulent planter on my deck(thanks to YOU - didn’t think I liked them until you) but did not get that done this year ......did too much other new stuff in the yard....also THANKS TO YOU!!
Thanks so much for this video, Laura and Aaron! It came at a great time for me because I'm dealing with spider mites on my boxwoods too. Hopefully I can get them under control with some of the products you suggested. Have a lovely weekend!
I really appreciate you guys taking the time to share all this information.
This video made me itchy thinking of those tiny spiders 🤨 Thank you for the video and the itch!
Best video regarding gardener sprays! I have had a bad infestation of spider mites this year. Will be more diligent next year. So helpful!
Just finished planting 400 tulip bulbs. You are my inspiration 💕
Your parents are super I love the shop and the lady that was helping is a big help.
You are always so thorough and I really appreciate it. I learned so much in the short time of this video. BIG THANKS!!
Thank you sooooo much for this video. I needed this information. Also I love the arrangement behind you with the succulents. It almost looks 3D.
I had never even heard of spider mites before watching your videos, and I certainly had never seen them. You post this video today and I proceed to find spider mites on one of my heucheras!!! Needless to say, I am rewatching this video and taking notes!
An excellent refresher plus valuable new information! Now I need to go give my gardens a once over! Thank you for very informative video! 😃🕷🕸🌿
Thank you for the information. I am dealing with this problem as well :-) The succulent arrangement on the background still doing well. I love it!
Thank you Thank you Thank you for all the detail on each product. Knowing very little about spider mites and such it is very beneficial to a novice for sure.
geez, you are so very helpful. Thank you for taking time to create these videos; so helpful and really appreciated.
Great video! Very informative. I didn't know you need to swap out chemicals each week. Now I do. I feel like I can really conquer these bugs! I also appreciate the specifics on each chemical as to how they work and what they affect. Thank you!!!😊
Definitive the best video I have ever seen about the subject mites, here spider mites, and the treatment.
Thank you for this new bit of knowledge about gardening! I always learn something new every time I watch your videos. It's like taking an online gardening class and I also take notes! I tell my husband, "Well, Laura says......" Have a blessed day! ;-)
Just started planting an orchard and have somethings in a sunroom. Couldn't figure out what was wrong with our cold hardy kiwi until a little late - mites. The learning curve is so steep with learning to take care of a variety of plants to make the healthy, muchless with things are going wrong - Japanese Beetle, carpenter ants, mites and everything! This channel has become such a resource of balanced information. Thank you so much!
Impecable timing! My tomato plant is suffering because of these little pests, was already planning to spray neem oil tomorrow morning, so glad I watched this because it’ll now happen this evening. And I’m going to start spraying the leaves with water every morning, especially since we’re going back up to 100+ degrees later this week.
Laura, this video really clarified a lot about chemicals. Thanks!
Thank you so much for researching and posting this information packed video! I am definitely adding this one to my favorites. I will be referring to it many times!😀
Thank you for this video!! I learned a lot and feel a lot more comfortable treating a problem in my garden!
This was timely! I was just out in my front garden and noticed tiny spots on a couple of my azaleas. We've had problems with webs in other azaleas but had no idea the two were related. Captain Jacks and Malathion are on my shopping list for my next trip to the garden center. Thank you for this helpful video. What you thought might be boring was exactly what I needed this week!
I have had great success eradicating my indoor spider mites with a strong rosemary infusion. Break up a fresh rosemary branch and steep it in hot water. Transfer the tea to a spray bottle and spray the infested plant as often and as thoroughly as you please. I'm not sure how well this would work for outdoor plants, but it's worth a try before resorting to chemicals.
You covered it perfectly! I specially liked how you started at DEFCON 5 and worked your way up. I love some sensible gardening for sure.
You did a great job, thank you for including all aspects of this subject.
As an environmentalist and longtime sub, thanks for sharing more info on safety for our pollinators!
Again SAVING this & keeping a lookout for problems. Thank you.great video.👍💥
I’ve been waiting for this video.
Thank you 💐
Thank you very much for all the wonderful information! This was EXTREMELY helpful! I am learning soooo much from you!
Laura, this was EXTREMELY HELPFUL!! Thank you so much for making this videos! I fought the battle of spider mites and budworms fairly successfully all summer with some of these products. I like Captain Jack and Rose Rx. I had about 50 annual mixed in a few perennials flower pots around my 3 porch, deck areas. I finally gave up after the fires and all the smoke in western Oregon because it made the problem 10x worse!
Now I am clipping way back much of them and hoping for a just little color through October. ❣😉💚
You do an absolutely amazing job
Extremely informative! Thanks! I've gleaned alot of this information from other videos of yours, but this is nice to have for reference to revisit at a later date...like when I've forgotten! And thanks for the clarification on how to use the hose end sprayer! I'm always confused about how that is used! Bless Aaron for doing the spraying and all of the heavy lifting! Just the best! Carry on!
Thank you so much for this video Laura! ☺ I've just started gardening & I'm learning so much from watching all your videos! 📹
I'm dealing with spider mites too & your video showed up at the perfect time. 👍 🙌
Was so waiting for this video! Thanks so much! Have lost watermelon several years to spider mites, thought I had some disease but it was spider mites. Now I have been treating them with need oil but will increase types of control and start sooner next year.
So thankful for all this information! Packed full of important info and ppe! Thank you so much!
You really are amazing! Your voice is calming Lolol
Thank you for doing this. I didn't realize why it's best to spray at night. I have just invested in BT and a hose pump sprayer so I needed to hear this today. I was moving some plants just last night and flicked off my arm several spider mites. Now I know what they look like and what I need to get. Thanks so much. Hope you get those maternity pants today.
Loved the info! But loved the background and setting especially!! ❤️👌🏽
This was much needed Laura! Thank you! I keep watching it over and over. These spider mites are aggressive on my beautiful cucumber plant. (Late in the season) but blooming
Not too long of a video... great information! I think you answered all my questions. Thanks!
Thank you for this. I did not realize spider mites was what I have been battling this year.
Thank you so much! I thought my plants were just sad from the heat and wildfire smoke we’ve had in CA, but realized it’s spider mites - ALL over the yard. I know what I’ll be doing the next few weekends...
I like the responsible way you covered the more toxic synthetic chemicals.
I was watering my plants today and I noticed on one of my marigold plants had a dusty look to it. Then, I noticed it was webbing. I touched it and tons on small red dots transferred to my fingers. I immediately thought spider mites. Had I not watched garden answer, I would have had no idea. Thanks Laura and Aaron!
This was an awesome video. I am a novice landscaping and appreciate your informative videos!
Thank you Laura & Aaron🥰
