Here in te EU, the most efficient pesticides are controlled substances and can onçy be bought and used by a qualified person (which I am not).

I have found that a friend of mine has all the necessary authorizations to buy those products, but since the ones I used to apply were prohibited, at this moment I really don't know what is the best product to use on orchids.

So, what is the best active ingredient against spider mites?

Thank you!

Can you get anything in the Pyrethrin class? I use bifenthrin, which is sold primarily for termites, but it's rated for spider mites also.

Dihydrogen oxide will kill them, including eggs, but it needs regular applications to all plants surfaces.

That will require submerging the plant, I think, to keep enough of it for long enough on the undersides of the leaves where the beasties hang out.
