Title: Red Spider in Greenhouse - treat with what?
Post by: Kristen on September 15, 2009, 12:02
Noticed Red Spider in the greenhouse last night. Thought that a couple of the tops of some Fuchsias were looking a bit brown, but stupidly didn't look closely. Saw lots of fine webs last night, and by then lots has become infested :(

I've got some Chilli plants in pots in there, but I can move them out somewhere else, but other than that no food crops.

I don't use chemicals unless I have to (in fact haven't used any insecticides this year so far), but I don't class myself as Organic.

I got some predators in last year when I had an infestation in the conservatory. By the time they had arrived in the post the infestation had gone from Serious to Terminal :(

Any recommendations gratefully received; thanks.
