I normally only use Neem Oil & other organic solutions for insects on my indoor/outdoor plants, but this year, the mites have infested and are slowing killing things inside and out! The mite is a tiny black or white bug that leaves microscopic white spots and/or black spots across tradescandentia outdoors; it’s now spreading to the plumeria (I have found the black spotting in groupings on leaves), bacopa, sweet potato vine, heather and now, my ferns! I tried the new malathion being sold, but it doesn’t seem to be making headway fast enough either! Any solutions/recommendations out there??

Someone please answer….
