Eliminate SPIDER MITES Quickly With This Magic Dust!



In today’s 2 minute garden tip, I share a magic dust that will eliminate spider mites quickly from an infested plant! I’m talking about wettable sulfur powder! Sulfur powder is suitable for organic gardening, can be mixed in water as a fine spray, and controls numerous pests and diseases, including spider mites!

Wettable sulfur is also a powerful natural fungicide. Sulfur dust controls rust, leaf spot, powdery mildew, numerous mite species, thrips, scale and more! It is safe for use on a wide variety of plants, including fruits and vegetables, when used properly as directed. Be sure to carefully read the instructions on how to apply sulfur dust, because dosages vary depending on the plant you’re treating, and sulfur can react at high temperatures and when applied with oils. Be sure to pay attention so you do not harm your plants!

  1. ANTHONY, I DON'T MEAN TO GET OFF TOPIC BUT CAN WE PUT POTATO PEELINGS IN COMPOST. SOMEONE SAID BE CAREFUL ABOUT POTATOES AND PEELINGS DUE TO BACTERIA. THANK YOU. LOVE YALL. ❤

  2. Thank you!!!❤ Good info as spider mites are tough to defeat. They massacred everything in the vicinity of my marigolds one year. Even the marigolds succumbed. 💞

  3. I hate spider mites, right up there with aphids and squash vine borers. Speaking of, you have anything for vine borers? I tried bt, didn't work unless I did something wrong.

  4. What would you recommend for the red leaf-footed nymphs? They always get on my tomato plants every single year and I can't figure out something natural to get rid of them.

  5. Hey MG, mark from Charlotte. So I have these dirty little creatures on my citrus now, that I got from Stan a couple yrs ago. Last spring, same thing, and I seemed to have success with Earthtone Insect which has Pyrethrins. I used it again twice this past week, not sure yet if it’s working. What’s your opinion on this organic chemical for mites? My bottle of concentrate is several yrs old, doesn’t seem to have an expiration date on the bottle. On another note, in Charlotte, as well as you I believe, the past couple days it’s been raining with lows about 39f. Today is finally sunny and noticed my citrus leaves and young stems are soft and floppy. Any ideas on this? Thanks!

  6. Thank you for that tip, very useful.
    Btw that color shirt looks great on you!
    Hope your Easter went well 🐕🐇🐣🌷

  7. I followed the Sulphur instructions in your old spider mite video, and it worked! In the dead of Winter, I shoveled out some space in the back yard, and sprayed down my potted lime with water. Then I did the spray in the garage. After 3 applications, it appears to have worked!

    The only thing I can't figure out is how spider mites even got into my home, in the freezing winter. At the time, I had no other plants! 🤔

  8. Thanks for the video! I could not find the toothbrush that you used for tomatoes on your list of products. Do you mind sharing the link?
