Nothing kills the EGGS.

A spidermite is born pregnant and can lay eggs in 14 days from being hatched.
Eggs hatch in 5 to 7 days.

Pyrithum bombs, Neem oils or azamax a concentrate of neem oils are the best.

Treatment must be made every 7 days for 4 treatments to break the life cycle. Some eggs can winter over in soil conditions.

Two sotted spidermites are the worst. More than just 4 treatments are needed most times. Keeping a clean work place has a lot to do with it also.

Most times you don't bring this on yourself as my case. My bro and his clones have been the only place I every got mites or thrips and I will not pass them on.

Azamax is the only one that can be used systemic as an antifeedant but you still need to spray to kill the eggs as they hatch.
Thanks for the info, appreciate it. I continue to keep things clean and I have neem oil if the little bugs show up. Good to hear they typically get transported in.
