Spider mites?Get them under control.

Yes. Lost Coast Plant Therapy controls spider mites and their eggs on contact. That matters because most of a colony is eggs and young mites you can't see yet. Spray the undersides of every leaf, the stems and any webbing, and repeat daily for 3 to 5 days so you keep up with anything that hatches.

Usually for three reasons. Eggs survive a spray that misses them and hatch a few days later. Mites hide on leaf undersides and under webbing, where quick sprays don't reach. And spider mites build resistance to chemical miticides fast. Daily sprays with full coverage, using a product that works physically, deal with all three.

Spray daily for 3 to 5 days, then as needed. Each time, soak the whole plant until the leaves glisten, especially leaf undersides, stems and any webbing. For heavy pressure, the label allows a boosted mix of 2 oz per gallon instead of the standard 1 oz.

No. Lost Coast Plant Therapy coats mites so they can't breathe, instead of poisoning them. There's no chemical for mites to adapt to, which is why it keeps working spray after spray, even on mites that shrug off chemical miticides.

Mites the spray reaches are coated on contact. For stubborn infestations, results are typically visible after repeat applications over 3 to 5 days. Check with the tap test. Hold white paper under a leaf, tap it, and look for specks that move. Fewer movers and no new webbing means you're on track.

Yes. Lost Coast Plant Therapy may be used up to the day of harvest when used as directed. It is made with natural and organic ingredients, approved for use by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), and approved for Demeter Biodynamic certified farms. As with anything you spray, read and follow the label.

Yes, Lost Coast Plant Therapy is safe for bees, ladybugs or praying mantises when used as directed. It works only on contact with soft bodied pests and their eggs. It is biodegradable and breaks down naturally, so it fits into a garden that relies on pollinators.

Yes. Along with spider mites, it controls russet mites, aphids, thrips, whiteflies and mealybugs, plus powdery mildew, mold and botrytis, all on contact. For russet mites, use the boosted mix of 2 oz per gallon and spray daily for about a week, then as needed.

Yes. Indoors, spray under low light and let plants dry before strong light returns. Take plants to a sink or shower if that's easier, and soak the undersides of every leaf. It smells like fresh peppermint, so it's easy to use inside the house.

Every size is the same concentrate, and 1 oz makes 1 gallon of spray. The 12 oz makes 12 gallons and suits most home gardens and houseplant collections. The 32 oz makes 32 gallons for big gardens and greenhouses at a lower cost per gallon, and it is our most popular size. The 1 gallon makes 128 gallons for market gardens and backpack or tank sprayers.
