Fair Factual Warning.

I noticed a drip maybe 1 drop per 72 hrs. If you are using Hotshot no pest strip use a zip lock baggie zipped 1 inch up from bottom and it catches any dripping. Two of strips were doing this at 80°F or less. Do not use strips without a baggie as I stated above. They work on infestation within 24 hours then remove after a week or so and watch for new mites. Pass the word

There are many other safe pest treatments available. These things belong outdoors or in the crawl space of a house, not in an area with plants you plan on smoking. They're just way too toxic to use indoors when citric acid works great and no chemical residue to ingest. If you're comfortable using them, then go for it but please don't advise others to use them when there are lots of safer options that are just as effective.
