Hello all.
I have had spider mite issues for like the last year. because i grow perpetually ive never really had the chance to clear the place out and BOMB it or anything. I have tried many products and although they have worked to a degree...i always seem to get um back!
I currently have 3 stages of plants in a dirt floor basement with 4 400 watt hps, and a 400 watt mh in a Veg Tent.
I had a friend tell me he buys ladybugs at lowes every spring and they rid his place of small pests. My lowes didnt have them at the time so i checked the net. I bought 2000 for 15 bux with free shipping on EBAY.
In my flowering area i let about 25 a day go free at the bottom in between plants. So far i have let about 100 out over the last month.
There is not a bug left! I also see less spiders even. Many of the lady bugs have taken up residence on the plants and i can see them sleeping , when i turn the lights on they really get to work! Up and down every crevice of your plant!
SO far i have really enjoyed the ladybugs and the way they fly around a bit when i come into the space. I give them water soaked towels for water and they are happy as a bug!
I have scoped for mites now for 2 weeks and i see none. Plants are going great!
