And Sevin. Work or no? I need to restock and Sevin was all I had tonight, noticed the tiny little red guys running around on the punks when I uncovered for the eve. Is this what is shreading my leaves and if so how did they survive the onslaught of chemicals? Hum. Thanks for any advice. B

If they are spider mites neem oil will do them in,,post a pic,,true spider mites are very tiny,,,Immunox or any other contact killer works as well

Sounds like either Clover or Velvet mites. Sevin will actually make the problem WORSE by killing their natural predators & leaving the mites perfectly healthy. If using a legitimate miticide isn't an option (expensive), then use Talstar or Scimitar (bifenthrin or Lambda-cyhalothrin) at the labeled rate for mites.

Regarding neem oil, does anyone know if the agrok oil will work? Thanks.
