Spider Mites on Alberta Spruce: Identification and Control

Cobweb-Like Coverage on Spruce? It's Spider Mites

Reddish, cobwebby growth covering Alberta spruce bushes is a classic sign of spider mite infestation. The mites spin fine webbing and suck sap, causing discoloration and needle drop.

Treatment Options

  • Kelthane (if available) or any miticide labeled for spruce
  • Fertilome Triple Action Plus (controls mites, insects, fungus)
  • Spray thoroughly to dripping, repeat weekly for 3–4 applications

Don't Remove the Plants

Mites will just migrate to nearby plants. Treat in place, and the spruces will recover with proper care.
