I don't know how big your grow is, but you could try Doktor Doom Spray or Bomb.

It's made from flowers, has a half life of 2 1/2 days.

There is other stuff, I'm sure people will tell you their favorites

I used a vacuum to suck as many off as possible, and then "dont bug me" from fox farms. This is a natural bug killer. You may have to do this twice, as the spray doesnt kill the eggs, only the adults. I have heard many people on these threads say to use a hot shot pest strip from home depot, but it is chemical. I have never used one, but i heard it worked on many other spidermite threads.
Good luck, kill all those little bastards!!!

he said "hot shot pest strip from home depot, but it is chemical."

But it really works. I put one in my box early in the grow, then take it out when I flower. Some people leave it in all the time or until the last month of flower.

I moved my box and cleaned it out, placed a Hot Shot No Pest Strip in the middle. The next day I found 1 dead bug, no more for the rest of the grow.

Just $ 0.02

get azamax.. if you use hydro, add it to the resi. if soil add it too your water and nutrient solution.. also spray them with it heavy.. i had them in week four of bloom and although i lost weight from there damage, azamax saved them in a matter of 3 days after application. shit saved me. einstien oil and doctor doom bombs didnt even scratch the surface..

i have some and it says not to be around it more than 4 hours for people and pets. sounds scary if you think about smoking it. i dont have bug problems yet so its still in the bag.its made for empty places, trailers, barns, attics, cabins when your not there ect.
