but I make a "tea" from tobacco and spray it on plants with spider mites. It has always worked for me for most pests I have had, but I don't use it unless I have a serious problem, since I don't normally use any chemicals that will harm beneficial insects. I used this one year for white fly infestation and I have never had white flies since. I understand that this is a dangerous chemical to use, and never use it on or around tomatoes.
