Spidermite Question...

[reality0]

Now I have read for a good while now and have decided to go with the No Pest Strips to get rid of these bloody spider mites...

But do they work outside? All the stories I've read about people using them are indoors and my grow is not. And if I can't use the NPS, would water and tabasco sauce work?

pyrethrum, neem oil, get under the leaves and look hell if you have time out there get most of them with you hands or what ever and then treat you plants.. you could also ask in the outdoor forums.. good luck!

whys that surprising? well, atleast i think there mites.. on almost every single plant under neath the leaf are little white things... i can sort of like rub them off, almost like dry dirt... but there white..

get a water bottle and mist the plant and see it you can spot a web.

i think there still in larvae form.. so no web

[evertking]

well if they is larva then there are spiter mites and larva do just as much damage as the mites... i would take care of every thing i could by hand and then start treating the plant with something.

ok will do... got a recipe for a good water spray solution?... something that i could get around the house, like tabasco or something... have no idea where to get neem oil..


and also, when i wipe off the spidermites are they going to get in my clothes and such.. and if they get in the house, will all hell break lose with them?
