Sounds like you have spider mites.
They are tiny and difficult to see but the webs are a dead giveaway.

Insecticidal soap is sold at any nursery or garden store and is not harmful to the enviornment.

You must spray several times per the instructions on the label to be effective and kill the adults and the larvae.
Good luck!

Mousetrap: I have a real bad slug problem too. Home Depot has a slug bait that isnt harmful to the environment you might wnat to try. Little pellets that they eat and it kills them ( I think it expands too much once in them) Anywho, I have/had about 200 sunflowers in my back garden and only half way survive. Must be slugs favourite food
