Some of you may already know of this technique but this is a first for me.

Materials:
Standard size spray bottle (1 quart)
Rubbing alcohol (12oz. bottle-50% strength) some comes 90%
Water

Directions:
Pour half of the 12oz. bottle of alcohol(50%) in to the spray bottle and top off with water...(if using the 90% strength then only use no more than a quarter of the bottle)....Spray the plants evenly and try not to soak them too much. Be sure to get the under-side of the leaves because that is where most of the eggs will be found.

You must be extremely careful not to use too much alcohol because it will harm the plants. I also suggest not spraying again for atleast 4 days. You should not have to spray again after the first time if you covered everything on the plants. I have personally seen this technique work for the last month but I did not want to log the information if it was not totally successful. This technique has been the only thing that works so far and I highly recommend it to anyone with spider mites.

I am not responsible for anyone destroying their plants with this technique. I am just passing on useful information that others may want to know about. This technique does work and will not harm your plants if done correctly.

THIS TECHNIQUE HAS NEVER BEEN ATTEMPTED DURING FLOWERING BY US, YET!!!!
