Anyone Ever Used Bifenthrin for Mites?

My local hydro shop talked me out of Mighty Wash and gave me some Turf and Ornamental Spray that contains 2.4% Bifenthrin and 97.6% other ingredients (probably water) Anyone used this before? They said you can use it up until 10 days before harvest.

Just to let you all know. I used the bifenthrin around 6:00 last night. I checked this morning around 8:00...nothing but dead mites. I'll keep an eye on the situation, but it appears to have worked.

Nobody bothered to respond to this.

STOP LISTENING TO THE HYDRO STORE GUYS and learn to use google
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifenthrin

Key parts
Its residual half-life in soil is between 7 days and 8 months
The main path of degradation results in 4’-hydroxy bifenthrin
it is unlikely to volatize because of its physical properties
This can ultimately lead to autoimmune diseases like asthma, bronchitis, arthritis and cancer.[SUP][2][/SUP]

Translation
That means it will still be around for a long time
when its gone it leave some other crazy unpronounceable shit behind
Its not gonna evaporate away quickly
It will fuck you up

My grow store also recommended it to me today for root aphids. And it worked amazingly well. But...The more I read the more I am starting to think it was a mistake to use something so Toxic on my plants. It should not be used on anything you will eat so what will happen if we smoke it?


I plan on calling tomorrow and having a chat with the guy and see what he says.

thank you bioguy, enough said. quantum apocalypse from entomo419.com is a new school neem based product that works awesome. organic, effective, and cheap when compared with other products out there. there really is no need for anyone to ever post anything else about "how do I get rid off spider mites". this product works and if used properly you will never have Mites again.
