Day one with Airless sprayer and neem.

I'm going half ounce per gallon.
Covered every inch on a very large bush.

Question please.

In order for neem to work I need to spray every single millimeter of leaf?
Even with an airless paint sprayer and a very fine tip (Full cloud of mist)
Its going to be very hard to get every single inch.

Do the mites eat the leaf or just not eat it?

Iv sprayed hard core 2 days ago and its teaming with mites.
Sprayed again today (2 days later) HARD CORE dripping with neem.

Im doing this every 2 days and switching up to azomax or safer soap. at the end of the week long spray.

I just got done with 4 sprays of Nukem at 2 oz a gallon, did nothing as I have learned it requires 4 ounces a gallon.

And tips or ideas? This is a 30 day process.

Iv decided to not use the floramite that's in the closet. ITs just to weird.

Will I win or just contain the mites?

Hay, I got a BIGGER paint sprayer that allows TWO wands and TWO men to spray at once (I guess they could spray each other also)

Tonight I looked and I still have mites. Even though it was more difficult to find any mites this time around.

I think you should buy this thingand sell me your sprayer so I can paint a house!

If they aren't flowering dunk them and wash them in a big drum of water or the bathtub. Rub every leaf underwater very gently . you will knock them down good and drown them. Put something in place to hold the soil. Somehow flip the plant upside down and dunk and wash and then wash wash wash do this for a while your plant wont drown but the bugs will. use neem as a preventative and killer of minor outbreaks . .

I could dunk them with a fork lift and 9 foot swimming pool only.

get three things to treat with and alternate them so the mites dont build up a tolerance look up gestation period and life cycle of the mites. treat them every other day for a couple weeks.

Im pretty much past neem...my mites eat that for lunch. Like Doc Pecker said...alternate pesticides/miticides. Also you could power spray the shit out of em on a reg basis...thats as organic as you can get

neem was USELESS AS FUCK ALL ON EVERY BUG SPECIES!

Gave me a flace sence of security, bull shit hippy shit.

In the end I ended up with

1. thrips
2. caterpillars
3. 2 spotted mites
4. broad mites
5. russet mites
6. gnats

all along I was thrilled and every day collecting more and more different bugs.

I had to use avid and all bugs are100% dead.

In support of neem I did dunk them last year with good results but burnt everything to a crisp.

hahaha hippy shit doet not work.

Your neem probably clogged the plants stomata. you can add it to your soil and use as a systemic. I think the problem is neem alone don't kill the eggs It takes many treatments to get rid of the mites but excessive use of neem will cause plant stomata to clog and suffocate the plant.
