Do red spider mites survive the winter on plants in the conservatory?

Our Advice:

Yes, almost certainly they will and they are probably active already. For small plants, they can be taken outdoors and sprayed with SB Plant Invigourator or Neudorff'>Pyrol Bug & Larvae Killer from Neudorff at 5 day intervals. For larger plants which are difficult to move use a biological control such as Red Spider Mite predator by mail order from Defenders.
