Getting Rid Of Spider Mites

Western And Central NY Spider Mite Exterminators

Trying to maintain a healthy and beautiful garden can prove very difficult for homeowners, especially for those who have spider mites to combat. While there are many pests that will try to draw nutrients from your trees and plants, spider mites are one of the worst pest control issues a homeowner or gardener can face. Their ability to reproduce quickly and in large quantities makes this pest one of the most threatening to any homeowner’s trees or garden.

Although these pests are considered mites, they are commonly known as spider mites. This is due to their body structure and ability to create silk, which they spin onto plants to protect themselves and their eggs from predators. Each of these mites also has a circular body with eight legs and no wings; greatly similar to those of spiders, and most of them reddish in color. Besides their ability to shield themselves with webs, spider mites have become resilient to pesticides applied by pest exterminators all across the country. Having a pest control company that changes their product for spider mites on a regular basis can make all the difference in keeping your trees and plants safe.

What Are Mites Attracted To?

Spider mites do not have a particular attraction to any specific type of plant. Homeowners and avid gardeners find these pests most destructive when they attack their produce plants. Having a pest exterminator apply pesticides is really the only way to control the destructive onslaught of spider mites. But this process can also make it dangerous for owners to enjoy their hard-earned crops come harvest.

Signs You Need A Spider Mite Exterminator

There are a few telltale signs that appear when you have a Spider Mite infestation. As mentioned previously, spider mites will spin webs onto the plants they are taking nutrients. They do this in order to protect themselves and their eggs. After a good rain it is usually pretty easy to notice the webs hanging from the limbs of your plants or trees. Spotting on the bark of trees or on the leaves of plants are also signs that mites are extracting the plant’s nutrients. Since the mites extract the nutrients from individual cells, they make the leaves appear spotted or flecked. The bark on trees can many times turn red or brown with bad mite infestations and needles on pine trees can turn yellow to brown and fall off prematurely.
