Inspect roses, evergreens, and marigolds for pale-green coloration. Hold a white sheet of paper underneath a leaf. Briskly tap it. Tiny, crawling mites will drop onto the paper if they are present. If infestation is light, give a forceful spray of water from the hose. Severely infested annual plants should be destroyed. Mild infestations can be controlled with pesticides.
