Spider Mites on Tomatoes: Wash or Spray Organically

Two effective, food-safe approaches:

1. Forceful water spray with a Bug Blaster nozzle, targeting leaf undersides in mid-afternoon so foliage dries quickly.
2. Organic sprays: Insecticidal soap (kills on contact) or horticultural oil (suffocates). Cover undersides thoroughly.

Repeat as needed. Avoid broad-spectrum insecticides that harm beneficial predators.
