Spider Mite Control
Spider mites are tiny pests that cause fine webbing and small stippled dots on leaves, usually visible first on the underside. They reproduce quickly, so an infestation can spread across a grow space within days if you don’t treat it early. This category stocks targeted sprays for direct application and fumigation smoke bombs for treating an entire enclosed tent or room. Every product is selected by our team and stocked in the UK for fast dispatch.

How Do You Know If You Have Spider Mites?
Look for fine webbing on the underside of leaves and small stippled or speckled dots where mites have fed. In heavier infestations, leaves take on a bronzed or dry appearance and may curl. Spider mites themselves are tiny and hard to spot — most growers notice the damage before they notice the mite.
Should You Use a Spray or a Fumigation Smoke Bomb?
Spray Treatments
A spray targets the plants you apply it to directly, making it the right choice for catching an infestation early or treating a small number of affected plants.
Fumigation (Smoke Bombs)
A fumigation smoke bomb releases treatment through an entire enclosed tent or room, reaching leaf surfaces, gaps and hard-to-reach areas a spray can't better suited to an established infestation across a full grow space.
How Do You Stop Spider Mites Coming Back?
Inspect new plants before you bring them into your grow space, since mites often arrive on plant material rather than starting on their own. Keep airflow moving, as spider mites favour warm, still, dry conditions. Treat at the first sign of webbing rather than waiting for visible leaf damage to spread.
FAQs
What's the fastest way to get rid of spider mites?
A spray applied directly to affected plants at the first sign of webbing gives the fastest results.
Can I use a fumigation smoke bomb while plants are in the tent?
Follow the product's specific instructions most fumigants are used with plants present but require the space to be sealed.
How do I know if it's spider mites and not another pest?
Fine webbing and small stippled dots on leaf undersides are the clearest signs specific to spider mites.
Do I need to treat more than once?
Yes most infestations need a repeat treatment to catch mites and eggs missed the first time.
Are spider mites harmful to my whole plant, or just the leaves they're on?
They start on individual leaves but spread quickly across the whole plant if left untreated.
