Hydrogen Peroxide will kill spider mites on plants without hurting the plants.
After applying a mixture of 8 ounces of 1.5% hydrogen peroxide/1 gallon water via a pump sprayer, checking under a microscope reveals no motion from the mites.
After 24 hours, lots of dead spider mites are visible, and the plants show no sign of damage.

For the most part, yes.Many unicellular organisms do not, which is why it's used as a disinfectant: it's not very harmful to your cells (which can break it down) but it's harmful to bacteria (which can't).Supv note: Gaah! Hydrogen peroxide is only toxic to organisms that can't stand an oxygen atmosphere such as Gram negative bacteria because it decomposes to release oxygen.ANS2:Well, of course. That enzyme would be called "Hydrogen peroxidase". You can search on that topic or you could look at the attached link.
