Works mechanically — suffocates mites and their eggs with a fine oil film — so there's no resistance risk like you get with chemical sprays. Available as concentrate or ready-to-use, and it won't harm your beneficial insects or edible crops.

Formulated from \u003cstrong\u003eplant extracts and specially blended oils\u003c\/strong\u003e, it works by coating mites and their eggs with an ultra-thin film, blocking their ability to breathe and preventing eggs from hatching. It's a mechanical kill, not a chemical one, which means spider mites can't build resistance to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in both \u003cstrong\u003econcentrated pouches\u003c\/strong\u003e (100ml, 300ml) that you dilute with water, or as a \u003cstrong\u003eready-to-use 750ml spray\u003c\/strong\u003e, SMC gives you flexibility depending on how you like to work. One 100ml concentrate makes 4 litres of solution, making it good value if you're tackling a bigger infestation or setting up a prevention schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSMC sits in the mid-premium segment of organic spider mite controls — more specialised than generic neem oil, but more affordable than premium essential oil products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003evs. Neem oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neem is budget-friendly but slower-acting.

Using a fine mist spray, generously coat the tops and undersides of all leaves — undersides are where mites hide and lay eggs. A single application will kill active mites within hours.

It works mechanically, so there's zero resistance risk, it's safe around kids and pets, and it won't kill the beneficial insects you might be relying on.
