  For Spidermites use: 1/2C buttermilk with 4 C             
  unprocessed wheat flour, add 5 gallons of water. This     
  destroys most of the mites and eggs. Leave on until       
  bugs are gone. Unprocessed wheat flour can be obtained    
  from health food stores if not in your local grocery      
  store. Another way is to make a tea with cedar            
  shavings or sawdust and spray... Let the shavings or       
  sawdust soak for a couple hours, then strain liquid and      
  let sawdust or shavings dry and sprinkle in garden        
  then spray that.. This keeps away squash bugs, Mexican    
  bean beetles, red spidermites, mealy bugs and cucumber    
  beetles...or you can work shavings into the soil.
