My last two grows have been destroyed with the little fuckers. I did asamax and an alcohol solution and never was able to rid them. I cleaned my room and started anew. Well now I see my newly flowering crop are all infected. I assume this is from mite eggs hibernating somewhere and I didn't get them while I cleaned the room before the new crop.

So, anyone have any tried and true method of seriously scribbing a room? I can't stand to see another crop go to shit.

Sevin (pesticide) is very good to kill them in the room.

I would wash the room in a bleach water mix if possible, otherwise spray bleach on all surfaces.

Then take the Sevin mixed according to instructions. Every place that makes a corner in the room should get a stream sprayed along it, like the professionals do. Pay particular attention to floor/wall/door jambs. Do this once a month.

Do not get it on your plants it is toxic to the plants.

Then, use Neem in the vegitative portion of your grow once per week. Leaves will get a shine on them with that leaf has enough. I only spray on the tops, the plant absorbs and takes it systemically. You can also put it in the soil, I do not know dosage that way.

The key to mites is elimination and then prevention.
