In fact I have used neem oil,this is affective for killing bugs currently on the plant,it really does not kill the eggs.The best thing to use is "Pyrethrum" with the neem or a product called "Avid", and while I thank you for your sugestion,spray's are not ok for this type of plant in it's flowering stage.What I really need to know about are the pest eating bug Galendromus Occidentalis,and whether or not they will survive in the climate that I've mentioned.And what other type of bugs would be helpful to eliminate the spider mites and thier eggs.

Lady bugs are the only bugs that I know of that will destroy spider mites and aphids.
I will do a little more research and see what I can find out. They may have the answer at the extention office. Have you done any research on the Galendromus Occidentalis? What type of plant is it? Have you tried dipping a q-tip in alchol and lightly touching the spider mites with it. This should help to at least slow them down until you can do something else. Could you use a stystmic with this plant. You would add it to the soil and the plant would take it up. I have even done that with the neem. If I find out anything else I will let you know. I will not tell you something if I have not tried it myself. I want to make sure it is safe.
