I heard that no pest strips work really good too. I have never had mites yet since using them.
LOl:D
your lucky kush
Hey u stole my avatar
follow opies advice tried several grows ago no more of them little bastards, always first item on my list.
Mites were a problem for years and I used everything + some. Finally bought the no pest strips from walmart. with in 3 weeks, not a mite to be found. I keep them in the garden 24-7. If I bring in a new plant, I smiply keep it out of the garden for 2 weeks with a fresh strip. Problem solved. Feel like a idiot now after spending many $$$$$ and for $5 the problem is solved.
arhh.
I just talked to the local hardware store and they said that they weren't getting more hot shot pest strips because the company folded... anyone have a good alternate? I running down to grab the last 2 right now..... shit they are the bomb for spider mites......
try looking around at other stores, my local Safeway grocery store still has them, and the Walmart did, too (last time I looked) also Ace Hardware stores ... I just now 'Googled' it, the manufacturer's website doesn't say anything about being unavailable ... if not, gas the bastards with any 'pyrethrin'-based pesticide (it's safe, pyrethrins made from marigold extract, read the instructions carefully) ... :smokin:
Yeh, the lady at ace said that they weren't getting more, just checked the corporate site, and they filed for chpt 11 on 2/3/09, but their FAQs claim that the product will still be available, maybe after a slight delay.... hope so, I'm finally getting a grip on the spider insanity....
