Skin Lightening Treatments. Skin lightening products -- also known as bleaching creams, whiteners, skin brighteners, or fade -- work by reducing a pigment called melanin in the skin. Most people who use lighteners do so to treat skin problems such as freckles, age spots, acne scars, or discoloration related to hormones.he active ingredient in some skin lighteners is mercury, so bleaching can lead to mercury poisoning. Mercury is a toxic agent that can cause serious psychiatric, neurological, and kidney problems.
Spider mites - outdoors. Spider mites are very common pests of outdoor plants. The mites suck juices from the plants, causing the plants to look dull and unhealthy. Mites also cause plants to lose vigor so that they may be unable to overcome a severe infestation, resulting in the plant's death. In Missouri, the most common outdoor spider mite is the two-spotted spider mite.
Getting rid of spider mites, commonly known as two-spotted mites (Tetranychus urticae), is best done with the introduction of other predatory mites. Not all mites are bad for your garden, even though a lot of people seem to think so. There are plenty of predatory mites available via mail order that you can release into your garden or greenhouse that will safely and effectively (without the use of chemicals) get rid of spider mites.
