Thoughtful summer residents act already in the spring. Before planting seedlings, they disinfect the greenhouse structures.

Prepare a solution based on dishwashing detergent or liquid soap, and then wash the greenhouse with a sponge.

Then the soil is treated with special biological preparations that will not leave the spider mite a chance to spread.
