Just wanted to say I decided to try Opie's method of No Pest strips and have great faith in it:D. Was hoping if anyone that has used this method has made clones off a plant at the same time the strip is in the room? The reason I ask is cuss I have clones that are almost ready for flower and seedlings that are ready to clone for sex in the same room for the moment. I need to take cutting asap. Jus curious if any ill effect will result from taking cuttings off healthy (non-mited, thank god i caught the lil fuckers early) seedlings that have been exposed for 24 hours to the strips?
lol most of us have just blazed em up many times. :stoned: lol S2:Quote:

Stuff like this, Hot Shot No-Pest Strip, scare me. Before using please visit this page: PAN Product Info for Hot shot no pest strip
I got MITES in my bud. WHAT SHOULD I DOOOOO? Should i let them finish completely and refrig or nuke the buds to get rid of the bstards? These two girls are so close to finishing (74 days in). I believe bud continue the life process for several days after harvest when vine or stem remain. I'm woundering if the frig would be best as it won't kill the continuing life process of the plant, just slow it down. Nuking should kill the bstards too but will it also kill the vines and stems. Has any one ever tried this to get rid of the bstards on bud? IYO, what should i do? Spraying is not an option
Can you please confirm that I can use the no pest strips if I am 3/4 weeks into flowering? tyvm

Thank you. I've been searching online for months to find an effective solution to my spider mite problem, no pest strips are the first method that worked. I've used neem oil, manual removal, and many commercial insecticides with almost no success (they all reduced the population but had to be sprayed every 7 days minimum to maintain control of the infestation).
After only 36 hours with no pest strips (the same ones SirDufus used) I can not find a single living spider mite. I used one strip in my 10'x10'x8' room and shut off the ventilation during the dark cycle. I am 3 weeks into the flowering cycle and to maintain the spider mite infestation I would had have to have sprayed until the end of bloom in order to get bud, thanks to opie I don't have to.
The plants don't seem to be affected by the strips in any way, when I was using neem oil and other pesticides, the growth rate would come to a crawl for a few days, I have observed the opposite with the strips (growth has increased, I take a lot of pictures to compare so it's not just my imagination).
I also did some research on the active pesticide in the strips (dichlorvos), it is used in greenhouses (it is used to control spider mites as well as other insects), as a treatment for certain parasites in cattle, food storage and a variety of other purposes. When used in food production the end product rarely contains traces of the pesticide, those remaining are easily removed by washing (I plan to spray my plant with water at least a week before harvest). Most of the harmful substances break down in 36 hours at the most (dichlorvos is very toxic in it's pure state). When absorbed by mammals in small concentrations, such as the no pest strips, the kidneys break down the remaining pesticide in a matter of hours .
I am not saying this product is 100% safe to use but in my opinion they are better than what I was doing before and more effective. Avid is certainly more harmful than these strips.
Thank you again, although this is an old thread I hope I am not the last to find it. I will post again with more definitive results in a few weeks.
Help.....:( I have a bad mite problem, they never seem to go away completely. I think they have built up a tolerance to the pyrethrum bombing & Shuttle spray that I have been using and now I am ready to try anything. The pest strips seem to have a good response but I'm wondering how many pest strips to use in my flower & veg room? Also I'll be trying the alcohol mixture spray on my clones to try to keep the mites away...:mad:
