They only attack sick plants..... seaweed is good for the plant, causes the body of the plant too become to tough for the mites to chew on. Kill them with seaweed, but you have a prrobem to cause the mite problem, to begin with. Where's the problem?.

just spray neem oil under your leaves and around the containers real good...that will keep most of them from even being able to get to the plants. of course you should do this before the lights go out. it works very well for me

Neem oil? I dont trust neem......Azatrol, can be used in veg or flower. Check manufactures website for further in depth information about this WONDERFUL product or ask at your hydro/grow shop :) You can also get a Hot Shot Pest Stripe, (has to be Hot Shot brand) to control mites and other bugs

I'm sure the lady bugs and their larvae are effective in an enclosed space, however if you're outdoor and you have mites, the ladybugs often fly off and you're left with the larvae which are more effective at controlling meally bugs and aphids. Spider mites move to quick for the larvae. Unless you got a good size grow and their are a lot of pests in your garden, those ladybugs will fly off.

DE is for other pest, like worms & shit. Seaweed, kelp, same shit. Your local Nursery should have seaweed on hand,... if not, order on-line. See the library at dirtdoctor.com
