How often should I check for pests on my indoor plants?

Controlling Spider Mites and Aphids

At least once a month, inspect your houseplants for signs of spider mites or aphids. Be sure to examine under the leaves as well. Making this a regular habit will make it less likely that you'll ever be faced with a major infestation, as you will catch the problem early. If you do find any spider mites or aphids, use an insecticidal soap to control them.
