The problem you have described is probably the two-spotted
spider mite. Spider mites are usually found on the underside of
the leaves. Two pesticide applications, 7 to 10 days apart, may
be necessary to kill mites that were in the egg stage. Dursban,
diazinon, horticultural oils and soaps can be used to control
spider mites. Refer to labelled directions.
