| I spent yesterday reading about new products for spider mites. Some of them are over $200 for 8 ounces but they say they work. These are not being sold by our regular stores, they are right from the growers. I have to pick one for spider mite and one for fungus control. |

| PD I have had the best luck with Ultra Fine Spray Oil. Some of the insecticides sold to control spider mites are pretty vicious stuff. Steve in Baltimore County. |

| Does Ultrafine Oil Spray have a name? |

| FWIW, I bought predatory mites. I'm going to say it worked, despite the fact that most of the growing part of the cannas I put them on have more or less died. That I blamed myself for...leaving things too late to save what had already grown. New shoots are growing well, however, and are mite free. I purchased 4000 of them based on a conversation with the owner of the company who supplied them. She was great! My tubers and cuttings are all mite-free for now. Cheers, |

| Russ, where did you get them from? |
