Professional Spider Mites Treatment Services

Sucking plant sap, spider mites can quickly damage both indoor and outdoor plants. They feed by piercing leaked tissues and sucking up the fluids and nutrients of plants. Thereby, they cause damage to leaves and stems.

Spider mites grow in dry and hot climates. However, they feed on indoor and outdoor plants year-round in some parts of California. Spider mites weaken plants and trees by sucking sap, leaving them more vulnerable to diseases and other insect infestations. So, Spider Mite Treatment should begin as early as possible to prevent further infection.

Spider mites are a common pest belonging to the arachnid family. They are relatives of spiders, forming colonies on the leaves’ underside. They are eight-legged tiny creatures that produce webs on many conifer species, houseplants, and other outdoor plants to protect themselves and their eggs. They will appear like yellow, green, or reddish-brown spots with oval shapes. Even when there are lots of them, spider mites are hard to see without a magnifying glass because there are so many of them.
