Spider mites and their control methods

Damage symptoms: Spider mites are extremely small and can only be seen easily with a magnifying glass. They often gather on the undersides of leaves, sucking sap and causing a silvery-white surface or white spots. In severe cases, webbing can be found on the undersides of leaves; when water is sprayed, droplets cling to it and reflect light, but some spider mites do not spin webs and cannot be seen this way. Spider mites are more likely to occur in dry, hot environments and can reproduce rapidly above 24°C. Ordinary insecticides cannot kill them; acaricides must be used to eliminate them. Control methods 1. Regularly observe the undersides of orchid leaves and eliminate any signs of damage immediately. 2. Various acaricides can be sprayed, such as 48% azocyclotin? No — 48% fenbutatin oxide? Let me correct: 48% aramite emulsifiable concentrate at 2000 times dilution, or 1.8% abamectin emulsifiable concentrate (qimansu, aifuding) at 2000 times dilution.
