Have a spider mite infestation on a lemon tree I brought indoors for the winter. Anyone have any ideas for how to kill them? I looked online and have tried neem oil, but it doesn’t seem to be working too well. Help!

The same happened to me years ago - you may want to discard the tree altogether- they will infect your other plants and keep coming year after year when the weather gets dry - tried many things and it looked solved only to show up again after weeks and even after years - discard the soil too

Spraying rubbing alcohol on my donkey tail worked to cure spider mites!

Second rubbing alcohol, but use a cotton pad to wipe off the mites, then rinse the leaves with water. Leaving alcohol on a plant can remove some of the leaves' protective coating.

Thanks all. Will try the rubbing alcohol. If that doesn’t work either, I may have to discard 😔.

You may need to change the soil. But definitely keeping up with the spraying of neem oil and wiping the leaves down. Increase the humidity if you can.

Yep, they show up as a response to water stress. Don't overwater but make sure it's not too dry.
