I've had pretty good results with Safers End All II, then my plants got too big to move into the shower.
Tried Docktor Doom, meh, 4 applications and was still finding new hatchlings.
Did a big shot of "Kock Down", haven't seen a live one since.

Good luck.

I've heard of pepper based wash, yes. I've never used it and don't know how to make it.
If you make it, WEAR RUBBER GLOVES and don't touch your face.

Safers Soap is less than $10.00 a bottle and makes quite a few batches.
Knock Down is about $20.00 a can.

You should always be ready for spider mites. as said if you find 1 you have hundreds more and once you get them it seems you will always be getting them. I never had any for 15 plus years about 3 years ago I got some and I have never gotten rid of them even by cleaning spraying bombing . They just seem to be ghosts and show up at flower time for me.

Pyrethrin bombs like dr doom can cause subsequent harvests from a room to fail testing for pseticide residuals. Now think about that, not effective against mites but contaminates grow for a year? Lol

Stop using bombs, these are not the way to properly apply a treatment.

Plants are too big to move into the shower, and there's no room to get in around the plants

Who are you? My mother?
It worked, mites have been gone for 2 weeks.
If you'd care to share the link for the info on Knock Down and Doktor Doom, I'll read it.
Its in a thread on icmag, go getum.

Definitely not your momma, or you'd be a little smarter. Lol j/k

2 weeks does not a mite eradicate.

I've been at this since 1989, we used to think mites were an issue, now they are our bitch. Aphids are the new enemy to be concerned with. Not many effective options and none for flower.

With mites you have to change up what you use to kill them as they grow immune to the same things so you have to rotate out. I have used everything from home mixes, to soaps to neem oils to bombs, to actual flowers. The azamax kills them but next grow they will be back. I have sealed areas wear hazmat type suits before entering different shows. wash scrub drop temps to freezing after grows they always come back eventually

Try two hot shots on a fan. Just wait a couple weeks before you harvest after they are wiped out. No bombing same effect.

@SnapsProvolon this guys a pretty fart smeller He offers good advice. I say azamax, floramite for veg neem as a preventative I wouldnt recommend neem and azamax in sequential order.If your flowering Hot shots are wondrous if your deep into flower just let it air out afterwords. Learn the gestation period of the pest you have, and I must say you're dealing with the worst, so get on it asap.
