I am having spider mite problems on my tomato plants and I am using permethrin concentrate on them to control it but I don't know what temperature it is safe to apply it in. It has been very hot here lately and I don't want to risk burning the leaves. Any ideas on an ideal outdoor temp for permethrin usage? ____________________Log In
I prefer a more natural way to deal with them. There is an organic product called Liaquid Ladybug that works really well on spider mites. Here is a link to National Geographic thet will give you some additional ways to deal with spider mites using organic methods. If you do use the rosemary oil, water your tomatoes really well first!Log In
