Question about Using Pyrethrum

I had mites. I shut everything down. Trashed it all. And I sprayed a few times with bleach after . A month later new grow and my plants had mites. SO i culled my plants. Ive been bleaching my tent daily now fora week. I bought pyrethrum TR. Its a 2 oz container. Covers 3000 Sq ft. I am concerned I dont want to overdo it. Any advice on how to use it in the best way possible...

Throw the can out or take it back those things dont work like you think they will.

Stop killing your plants spider mites are the easiest thing to deal with and there are hundreds of threads on how to do it.

When you spray think one hundred percent coverage and consistency, meaning dont be lazy and spray every three-four days till gone. and then once a week for maintenance.

My plants are always from seed. Never had mites. I introduced mites thru 2 clones I got. I killed everything upon finding the mites.. I sprayed with bleach and waited a while. Evidently there were dormant eggs. The next grow showed mites early in veg. I would never have mites had I not introduce a clone to my grow. So I killed the plants. I have now sprayed my tent continuosly to clean it with bleach for 2 weeks. I want to bomb it. I want to know if it safe to do it. I dont need mite control information. I should not have a problem after a good blast. I want to blast this thing correctly and start anew..

omg fumigation ptsd

mite hibernate, mites live everywhere outside your home, mites travel on the wind...lots or ways to get mites, but you got this now......

they laugh at bleach as it kills the weak and only the strong survive

mites are so easy to get rid of...this is like a crack in the side walk on a walk ..just keep rolling...but with a IPM program

Maybe read the instruction on the can.

DUH yes I did. It says it can cover a very large area. Up to 3000 sq feet. as I previously stated. My question is will I blow siht up if I use it. Im looking for people who have used it not just comments..Like it will be fine Ive done it before. Or HELL no its dangerous. and you can blow your room up.. Ive only got 128 Sq ft to treat in a tent. Please read thoroughly before responding further.

ive used this can before...and I wouldn't use it in a closed space that small...but if you vented for the first intitial fog dsipersal like 30-40 Seconds seconds of its..should be fine

where does you vent vent, and how much can it vent?

do you have animals or children in the house?If so that changes things.

Its in a tent in the garage. I can push air thru it and vent outside. I have a 6 inch fan and a speed controller

128 sq ft is in the range of up to 3000 sq ft so you should be good right.

It isnt going to work throw the can out and learn how to deal with spider mites. It isnt going to kill any eggs that you might have laying around. and no you aint going to blow shit up.

Your tent is in a garage and that is as close to outdoors as you can get. Do you really think using that one time and you aint going to get spider mites again.

I also wouldn't recommend...pygqanic 5.0 works great, but if oyu insist here is the label instructions


can you create a 3ft diameter space around the can that's also above the canopy? if so do it to it

pyrethrin fog should kill eggs and it it doesn't residual powdered checmical will

Like I stated. I killed off the plants. Only thing in tent are lights and ducting.I just want to start clean. I understand maintainance..My concern is, is this dangerous. Like explosive. I can also leave the tent patially open and let it vent into the garage wouldnt hurt. Since Ive been bleaching for several weeks im not going to chance it. Ill dose with neem just in case.

never had them before.....
If I have problems Ill deal with that when I cross that bridge. I understand how to deal with mites. As I stated I never had mites until I got 2 clones. I'll never grow from anything but seed any more
