I had spidermites real bad. I went to the lawn and garden section of the hardware store and got 4 hot shot no pest strips they look like a air freshener not a sticky trap. I put one on the back side of a fan and hung two up in a flower room. one in a veg room and sealed the rooms opened only to water. In three days all bugs are dead.

You do know that the gnats have a fuck fest on your medium and plant larvae deep in your medium, they will come back. I have used the Hot Shot it does kill adults but man that shit stinks and has dangerous chemicals in it. It does kill the adults though.

Yeah they definetly work. Kills everything in there but like said above very harmful to ur health!

I would not use the strips for more then a couple days at a time and definetly not in flower unless u wanna smoke some yummy chemicals.

U can just reseal the strip in its bag and put it back in if u see bugs again.

Do not use anywhere where u r gonna be for more then few hours (says that on package) and if u r around it then wear a respirator

There's a couple good threads in here on dangers of these things. Search and read up

Hung one of these up about a week ago and still see just as many mites. It's only a 3x8x5 box so 1 should be enough right?
