Spider Mite Control

An all-natural, plant-extract acaricide that suffocates spider mites on contact, prevents egg hatching, and disrupts reproduction — with no resistance development after continuous use and rapid biodegradation leaving no harmful residues.

Vegalab Spider Mite Control
All-natural; compatible with organic programs

Spider Mite Control is a multi-oil plant extract pesticide formulated from cottonseed oil, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, and geraniol. It eliminates spider mites (Tetranychidae) by blocking their breathing holes — causing rapid suffocation — while simultaneously deactivating eggs and disrupting female reproductive cycles. Unlike conventional acaricides, it causes no resistance development after continuous use, making it ideal for rotation programs and season-long mite management across hundreds of crop species.

Key benefits
  • Kills spider mites on contact by blocking breathing holes and causing suffocation.
  • Deactivates eggs and disrupts female spider mite reproduction.
  • No resistance development after continuous or repeated use.
  • Rapidly biodegradable; leaves no harmful residues on crops or in soil.
  • Non-toxic to people; safe handling with standard agricultural PPE.
  • Effective across several hundred plant species — from vegetables to ornamentals.
