Dave,
The soil mix with imidocloprid is quite hard to find even in the London area.
Instead look for a new plant spray called Provado Ultimate Bug Killer which
is a mix of imidocloprid and methiocarb and is the first spray I have ever
had success with in killing spider mites. It is very effective and systemic
also. Its brand new so again you may have to search, look for a yellow and
blue can with blue cap. Hope all is well with you. Its made by Bayer and they
have a website so maybe that will help with distributors: www.bio.uk.co or
call: 020 8344 6808.
Best wishes,
Geoffrey Kibby
