Hi Kara. I agree it is spider mites. Not all insecticides kill them so read the labels. They can be really difficult to control. If you want to try something a little less toxic than malathion, try insecticidal soap. Spraying with water is the main thing, though. To get rid of mites it helps to know what living conditions they like. Mites usually show up when things are very dry. That is why they often show up in houseplants. The dry air is something they love. If you spray your tree every now and then, the humidity will discourage them from wanting to even settle in. There are also oils that can be sprayed on junipers that will smother the mites.
