Spider Mites! Getting rid of them before starting.

Getting ready to start the room. I am in the process of cleaning out the room the previous crop was infested with spider mites. What should be used to make sure they do not survive into the next few that get going? I am going to get some no pest strips but should I spray the walls with bleach? Is there any good foggers that will work? Remember there is nothing alive right now so If i could I would fire bomb the place but that is not an option. So please give me the most devastating things that will work in empty areas. This is not even walls either there is studs and insulation that is showing. So anything that can penetrate would be great.

Thanks,

Snow

There is a way to get rid of them permanently in one shot. Get some Forbid 4f, spray them once, and you are cured. A few weeks later, spray the sides of the pots and floor for good measure. You dont even have to spray the undersides of the leaves. Just spray it on and mites and eggs dead. Spray your house plants just in case they are infected too, as well as any mother plants.

1ml makes a gallon of spray. A gallon lasts a year.

It costs like $400 per pint BUT you can get small amounts online for a few buck$.

Use it once per crop, only in vegetative stage. Do this for six months. Gone forever.

You can battle them for years and spend a fortune, or get rid of them forever for a few cents and very little work. You choice.

get lady bugs tpb style plus lady bugs are cute
I had a big box with like 50 ladybugs that I found and saved when I was roofing.. I left it on a table and the stupid fuckin cat knocked it over. I get home and I see the box on the ground and it was empty.. I was chasing ladybugs for days.. they would pop up outta nowhere for the next 6 months. I will never do that shit again lol not worth it.

I bought ladybugs once. A few days later, dead ladybugs everywhere in my grow room. Even clogged in the fan and in the reservoir. Mites not affected at all. Got Forbid 4f, mites gone forever.

This is an empty room. I know they can be carried in. Looking now for what would work on an empty room. As mentioned above there is a ton of things that can be used when their is a crop going but now there is not. Also Lady bugs worked to keep them somewhat under control last batch 2500 and a bunch lived but still nothing will get rid of the perm. Just looking for the best options while empty.

Ya know most of the insecticides STAY in your room and get into the plant ! Buy 2.5 gallons of Mighty Wash and put some in a atomizer and blast the room ! It kills em all AND the eggs ON CONTACT ! It wont fuck up the plants !

does it work on ants. forbid 4f is way more expensive to use. the price on ebay is outrageous for something like this there are less expensive methods

Be forewarned Forbid is a Ornamental Miticide

Best advice is to just clean and clean some more , and look for any cracks or crevices in the room that you may find , spider mites can go dormant and return with a vengeance ..

washing the room down with H2o2 will fry the fucks, or bleach then stay on top it with organic sprays. Mighty wash, and neem oil, and pepper spray made from ghost peppers, but the pepper spray has to end two weeks before harvest.
