Those hotshots strips worked great for me for total annihilation. You can't use em in flower tho from what I hear, so depends on where you're at in the cycle... and not sure how that applies to auto-flower =\

EDIT: I can only use hotshots because my grow area is not in a living space! They're dangerous otherwise

That's what I was planning to give it was at least a week to get rid of these demon spawns.
after you get them killed, next is to figure out where you got them from. i got mine from a dispensary clone. i've heard of people bringing them in from grow stores, outdoor greenhouses, other grow ops, etc.

That's what I can not figure out is where I got them from, no dispensary visits or other grow ops. Cleaned grown room top to bottom with belach/water solution and setup and cleaned again and then started my grow. No idea where these things came from.

Pets, coming from outdoors going to your grow, your clothes, garden centers etc. They are such small passengers its quite easy to get around without being noticed.

You should do a search for a guy on here called cali clean I think it was . Grow your own habanero peppers and make it into a pepper spray . I tried other pesticides and ended up burning the leaves but this method works great and you can flood it on with no burn. I had a infestation too and I tried everything. This really works . Spray every couple days . Get some glasses on cause its like pepper spray

I also tried the pepper spray first while waiting for my mighty wash to come. I sampled a few infected leaves in a bag and looked afterwards- didnt see anything alive.

I pretty much launched full-on warfare though, so im not really sure what worked lol

If you can buy the peppers from the supermarket give it a go. I spray my walls and everywhere in my grow room with it and have had success. Change it round a bit to the soapy water method a few goes then back to the pepper . You can do this for under $5 . Just remember you can spray anywhere on the plant like the soil , pots etc. I even flooded it on in the last week's of flower cause I seen webbing from under the plant when I had the infestation, just make sure you have good ventilation

Thanks to everyone for the help this is my first infestation, I went to my local Lowe's and picked up some neem oil spray and I soaked all of the leaves top and bottom as well as the main stalk and branches. I checked back about an hour later and everything that was moving is dead so I guess it worked, will be spraying again in a few days to kill any eggs that might have hatched.

So the neem spray I purchased at Lowe's seems to have done the trick, I do advise if you go with what Lowe's carries be very careful as if you spray to much it will burn the plant. I had a small cream of the crop plant that was doing good and I barely sprayed any on it as it was so small and found it this morning completely dead so be careful using that stuff.

Ok, so I'm going to have to do another treatment as apparently two rounds was not enough. I was checking the girl today and again noticed a few small black dots moving around on the bottom of the leaves...just can't seem to kill these little turds.

give mighty-wash a go- its plant friendly, and hey, at this point its worth trying a few different things!

What geo are you in? I know russet mites are bad in Colorado this year
