you should try the no pest strips.. read the instructions carefully.. no need to kill yourself..

good luck.. mites are nasty.. controlling the temperature is going to be key.. MITEs flourish in 80 degree temps..

Consider lady bugs? I hear they love mites. And, they only eat meat, not vegitation.

Got em from "the bug people" (or something like that) here, they sell all kinds of bugs. But I'd assume that theyre available at hydroponics stores

I agree with Garden Knowm...... with spider mites I would bring out the big guns.
Spider Mites, IMO, are the most destructive common pests you are likely to encounter.
I would give no quarter....they ALL must be killed....
Use a No Pest Strip....they are only about 5 to 6 dollars each...one will kill 'em all.....Good Luck

Don't pest strips say keep away from food, pets & children? Why would you choose to put something like that next to your medicine? There are other, healthier remedies. Try Zero Tolerance Pesticide by Ed Rosenthal? It works. So does Neem oil! I alternate use of both. One full cycle each, then the other remedy. Spider mites, like many living organisms easily develop resistance.

Read the data sheets, they feed the active ingredients to farm animals to keep bugs out of the shit. They had a hard time killing rats, even after feeding it to them.

Don't eat them or sleep with them in your room, and you should be OK.

Good Luck
