Red Spiders
Evergreens may be rid of red spider by spraying with a weak solution of
glue. Dissolve 1/2 pound of common glue in a quart of hot water then
dilute to about 10 gallons. Spray it, especially on the under
sides of the leaves, where the mites are mostly found. The glue will
dry and flake off carrying with it the suffocated spiders and their
webs. Of course, some will escape and a new infestation will occur
but a repetition of the spray in 10 to 15 days will prove effective.
This pest is not troublesome in moist weather; only when the air
is dry as in summer.
