HELP! Spider mites Neem oil vs mineral oil vs? Male

Hi WaterWitchin,
Do you find just the alcohol sufficient?
Do you dilute it at all or full strength
And, does full strength alcohol hurt or dry out some of the thinner more sensitive orchid leaves?
Thanks

I use rubbing alcohol like you get from the store. I think it's around 70%, but you need to look at the bottle. I don't dilute it at all.

I thought we were discussing Catts, via your original query. Will it hurt thinner leaves? Hasn't with mine, but rarely have that issue with thinner leaved plants. I've used on Oncidium with no bad results. That's me.
