Spider mites eradication!

It's good if you got one plant but
any more than that it will cost a fortune to
rid mites with liquid lady bug. Even for
one plant the price is astronomical.

For 3 bucks one can get a bottle of the blue dawn
dish liquid and it would be good for about 1000 plants or
more.
 
im in the middle of getting rid of mites i do believe i got them all! i grinded habanero peppers filled a pot with water heated it up added grinded peppers the smell was killer strong then i strained the liqued into a spray bottle and i mixed in some eco safe insectacide and sprayed away

how bad are they in your soil or grow median or your drains tables or they just on you leaves? I found out that you can get them off your leaf and the can still be in your soil or grow median. the kind of mites or bugs depend on the treat you can use. Wish i could be better help.
 
Did my first outdoor/greenhouse this year, and was mindless enough to bring the outside in. I too did the hot pepper spray. I experimented with also adding garlic and aloe. Seems to have work on reducing the population but not eradicating them. I plan to finish the indoor crop, break all equipment down, and spray w/ diluted bleach. If you don't wanna fight them through winter I would advise of the same. My understanding is they will lay larva/eggs everywhere and anywhere so treat everything as it's contaminated, or you are simply just prolonging another outbreak.

did you spray every 5 days or so? heavy populations need more spraying and maybe a 2/3 pronged attack. i didnt spray my walls or equiptment either. why would mites lay eggs on ur ballast or in ur lights? theres no food there. maybe in extreme outbreaks. but im skeptical of mite eggs laid on equipment.
 
All those natural organic sprays are great, but they dont kill eggs that hatch in 3 days. Then more eggs are laid, more n more n more.
Then right around the time you spray for the 3rd time they are immune to your spray and start eating it for lunch. Gotta keep switching off miticides so they dont get immuned to one type. Once you've gone threw all your organic sprays you'll be gettin the hard stuff;)

azamax is an antifeed. let the eggs hatch. ill watch em starve while im grubbing down a fat burger dripping hot grease. if your dealing with the 2 spotted mite, azamax works great. only adults lay eggs. larva need food to become adults. simple math really. spray every 4 days for heavy infestations. my was a wee one so i sprayed every 7.

My conditions are perfect for spider mites, I keep shit really dry plus I live in Colorado. So outbreaks are pretty bad. IM over azamax and neem they just keep them at bay. I've sprayed on a daily when it was real bad, I keep my grow like a TI cleanroom. Still encountered problems till I got a toxic mite spray;) I
ll never understand the math when it comes to pests. Cross contamination was probably an issue bc I have so many plants. I am always washing my hands after touching each plant even now that they are finally gone.

did you identify the actual mite? the good thing is you killed the bastards. colorado is really bad with russett mites from what i read.
 
Ive had everything bro. thrips,spider, russet, rust. I'm a fuckin mite pro!! lol Also lost 5lbs to botrytis last year (half my crop).
I bomb my grow every 60 days. I probably spend just as much on an array of pesticides as I do my nutes. Russets are bad out this way. (I get pissy everytime someone posts about mozaic virus lol.) But id take russet over rust and spider mites anyday, russet mites are a much easier fix 2 miticide apps back 2 back for 2 days and gone. rust mites took me a bit to find out about bc their was no info on it anywhere on how to fix it. Then I conquered the fuckers and became a member of RIU to share the info.

you plant companion plants? the ones that attract beneficial insects?

im just saying whats worked for me. 2.5 ml of azamax into that sprayer they sell which is min strength and its been real effective. i guess they could be hiding in my room somewhere. gonna wake up like i had a bad dream like " omg honey, i had the worst dream! you were a mite!" as GG420 grabs his gf she rolls over to his horror! shes a damn MITE! lol

I found out that in the right conditions you can kill them off just by keep the temperature lower than 75 to 70 with 45 to 50 percent humidity. think of how the plant get ready of the bugs in the wild. I just wish that bugs where not so much of a problem in Colorado. I grow indoor and keeping the humidity right can be difficult at times in Colorado. I caught my soon enough to kill them off only lost three plants. now I have to start over.
