Jasmine Vine with Webbing: Neem Oil for Spider Mites

The Problem

A jasmine houseplant has white web pockets; Sevin failed. Owner considers neem oil.

Why Neem Works

• Smothers mites and insects.
• Bitter taste deters feeding.
• Systemic absorption—rain/ watering doesn’t wash it off.
• Can be sprayed on sills, doorways, even pets for barrier effect.

Application

Spray thoroughly, especially leaf undersides and stems. Repeat weekly for 3 weeks. Isolate plant during treatment.
