I do understand what you are saying Zed. Have you heard anything about mites getting immune to Floramite and Avid? I ask because I read, I think in a CU paper, that this is becoming an issue. The recommendation was to rotate the active ingredients.

I would guess that unless a grower has a sealed room and an air lock to change clothes in the little bastards will return as the chemicals break down. If flower time is nine weeks and chems break down in four to five and mites return maybe some predators sprinkled in will keep them at bay. I knocked a number off of a beautiful Django plant with a plain water spray last night. It has three weeks to go and I don't want to be picking off feeder leaves this early or hitting it with Chems.

I can see how a large garden would be quite tough to keep mite free in nearly any scenario.
