The following was received via email: I am having a serious problem with "mites" on a dwarf blue spruce and a dwarf cypress cedar. The last product used to attempt to control this situation was "bug be gone". Soapy solutions also did not work. Both plants are located in an open bed away from the house and have good early sun and free passage of wind.This bed is established 4 years now and was fine until last fall. It has always been properly irrigated and regularly correctly fertilized. Thanks in advance for any insights forthcoming. Cindy
