I posted before that I really do have sick people I grow for, so I wanted to avoid the chemical route. I'm hoping the "fog" approach they advertise instead of the spray bottle thing will be way more effective.

So I had the guy fog with this stuff yesterday that is supposed to dissolve the exoskeleton of the mites. He comes back on Friday to check the plants for bugs. If I didn't have people counting on me to have a good harvest, it would sort of be like a science experiment!

Anyone else hire a professional to combat pests? I'll let you know how it turns out. I checked the girls today and they don't looked burned or otherwise stressed, so I'm hopeful...
That's really interesting. I'm just going through my first harvest and thankfully didn't have any pest problems. I have heard it was an especially bad summer for bugs.

You might post a comment on the kindreviews site, there was a thread about an MMC with a mite problem. I'm not sure how specific I can be on this site, we share the same concerns. I don't think these problems exist there.

I don't know how big your grow is, but it might be worth it to scrub everything down with bleach and be surgical clean moving forward. I'm not criticizing you or anything, this is an interesting subject, especially in this economy.
