Mites... Lots of them... but I have stumbled onto a solution that is epic....

I am now ready to harvest, and have gone into the room, and low and behold I see the web of despair.... Mites..

Although they are not on the plants I care about. I planted some Jalapenos in between the weed. The mites are eating the Jalapenos and not the weed...

Super stoked. Not one mite on the weed, but the Jalapenos are covered! check it out!

"No pest strips" check em out. Duct tape to the front of your fan. turn off the exhaust for 4 hours. all will be dead and plants thankful.

Brilliant move, man. Many animals and insects alike are very specific eaters. If one plants enough of a variety of different plants, then pests will go for the ones they prefer instead, most of the time. Thats how I deal with insects, deer and rabbits. This enables much easier control-and-attack strategy that I employ to viciously destroy pests after I set the traps with target plants.

make sure that you do kill the bugs, or else they may start going after your main crop, jalapenos can only take so much of the beating, haha.
