Spider Mite Control on Venus Flytraps: Effective Insecticide Mixes

Sevin-5 dust (carbaryl) isn't recommended for spider mites on carnivorous plants. Instead, use proven systemic/miticide combinations.

Recommended Regimen

• Acephate (systemic): 1–2.5 tsp per gallon water.
• Pentac (miticide, wettable powder) or Avid + Stirrup M.
• Spray every 4 days for 4–6 applications to catch hatching eggs.
