Neem.

Hot pepper spray reportedly works, too. No personal experience, however.

One of my office plants - I think it's a variety of croton - has spider

and spray it off (if I could find a hose outside, which is unlikely).
What's a good remedy?
I am not too excited about spraying insecticides in my office but I
might be able to find a hand cart to take it outside.
