Show persistent pests the door and save the plants you love

Inspect your houseplants for pests before you bring them indoors for the winter to avoid the spread of spider mites, aphids and other insects that are harmful to plants. The key thing to keep in mind is taking care of the dirty work while the plants are still outside - look for eggs on the underside of the leaves.

Sometimes giving plants a hard spray of water from the hose is enough to dislodge insects. Insecticide soaps also work well, according to Rosie Lerner, extension consumer horticulture specialist, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind. Charlie Nardozzi, senior horticulturist, National Gardening Association, South Burlington Vt., suggests trying a horticultural oil to kill insect eggs. In addition to the precautionary steps, isolate your plants indoors for the first few weeks in case you didn't destroy all the eggs a plant could be harboring, Nardozzi says.
