Spider mites, scientifically known as Tetranychidae, are tiny arachnids notorious for their destructive impact on indoor plants. These mites, which are less than 1mm in size, are often invisible to the naked eye, but their damage is unmistakable. According to a study published in the Journal of Economic Entomology, spider mites can infest over 200 species of plants, causing significant damage by sucking the sap out of the plant cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
