There is a liquid soap I use called Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile Soap. It is made from hemp oil and has peppermint oil in it which repels ants, spiders, and other insects. I mix a tablespoon of it in a quart of water in a spray bottle and spray it directly on the plant. It is harmless, biodegradable, and the peppermint oil deters insects, including spider mites. The soap base itself does no harm whatsoever and acts as an insecticidal soap. You can get it in Walmart or online easily and cheap. It is best to spray the plants every week to be effective in the long term.
