How on earth do I get rid of spider mites on my house plants? have been trying the trick of spraying them with a mix of washing up liquid and water. Maybe I should make the mix stronger? I did make it weak in fear of killing the plants instead of the mites.
I also seem to have two types of them, got the very small ones and then today on my money penny (don't know if thats the proper name for it) I have found some big ones about the size of a tick, they are white and when i sprayed them they turned brown? help!

I've got the same problem. I'm waiting for my mum to dig some spray out of her shed that is meant to work- she can't remember what it's called, only that it's organic. She also suggested leaving plants outside once the weather gets warmer.
