Re: red spider mites

Are they attacking your plants?
My grandad used to swear by organic destruction of these pests.

Find the source and spray with a solution of water and habanero peppers.
Chop up peppers and simmer in the water for half an hour and spray plants once cooled.

Haven't had any yet Doc but have other years .
I wash them off the window sills with the watering can (and a bit of fairy liquid) .
