Thanks so much for the info, Tony! I researched red spider mites on the web and that sounds exactly like my little critters! I will spray the tree with water as you instructed, but I have a question about the insecticide. My local nusery (Frank's) didn't have and malathion, so I bought Frank's insect spray (that works on spider mites). Do you think this should be effective?? Or am I better off with the malathion? If so, I'll continue to look for that one.

Thanks again!
