Yes@lucky. That is what used. Kills like, 240 insects including different kinds of mites. Thing is about pesticides, they often kill beneficial bugs, too. Like the ones that eat mites. I thought long and hard about it before using a pesticide. In the meantime, the mites were spreading to other plants, practically killing my geraniums. For me, it was time to stop the infestation and the risk of losing plants. Weigh it out. Isolation was not an option for me. Too many plants were infected. But it may be an option for you. One plant can simply be hosed down roughly literally washing the webs and their eggs off the plant. They hate that! Good luck. Let us know how it is doing. It's a pain, i know!
