Do Thirps Kill Spider Mites?

Perhaps it's just a coincidence but I have been noticing something.

I have dealt with spider mites, the bane of my existence.

When exterminating the pest completely it is always a short time before I notice Thirps.

Back and forth, I have never noticed having them both at the same time.

I have been wondering if it's possible that the thirps do something that kills spider mites.

Eating them seems unlikely, but perhaps their waist is bad for mites? Perhaps they excrete something that kills mites (competition.)

Just curious.

No, thrips do not kill or effect spider mites... Easy way to take care of both pests is to get a hotshot no pest strip and leave it in your grow room for a few days! always totally solves the problem for me

A really good trick is to feed with Iodized salt. 6 or 7 tsp per gallon, and your roots will be nice and salty. The mites hate teh salts.

Yea neem has proven to be worthless against both, time and time again... It may be usefull for prevention. I need to stay on top of it better. Also had PWM pop up, first time, keeping it contained and almost gone, but what a nightmare. Going to have to do some serious disinfecting soon. The PWM was all around the area so it was unavoidable I think..
I am curious about the hotshot no pest strip.. Is that ok to use in flowering or only when its empty?
