Red spider mite

This pest does so much damage. The only way I have found to remove them is to stand the plants out in the rain, but bring them back in again and RSM is back within a few weeks.

Pravado doesn't seem to touch them, neither have any other sprays I've tried.

Does anyone have a cure?

 

This RHS article is very good. My experience is only with indoor infestations. I have tried my personal mixture against indoor bugs and aphids with some success- a simple water spray with liquid soap or detergent and oil such as ollive or sunflower added. This bungs up the breathing orifices of many nasties. Neem oil has been suggested to me but haven't tried it.
Hope this helps!

Its the only way that I have found to control red spider, but you have to reintroduce regulally through the summer.
