Kelthane.

Rezinator Reviewed by Rezinator on 10-14-2005. Spyder mites A couple local growers are having issues with Spyder Mites. One is using a "tea" based product that does not seem to eliminate these pests, but seems to "control" them. Is there any product that people have had sucess with in controlling these pests (No I don't want to use Agent Orange..... LOL) as we are keeping this product "clean". Muchas thanks for any suggestions! :confused: Rating: 5

Yeah okay I guess "90 degrees" says whatever "all" is still locked up inside JDogs understanding.

JDog. See this ----> .

It's known as a period.

Woof.

You understood what he meant, right?

Please tell us you knew what you'd miss if you skipped Mental Telepathy.

Explain what you know JDog. We cannot read your mind?

I'm sure you also meant to convey the importance of Relative Humidity and the resiliance of Spider Mites as well, no?

Which do they prefer JDog. High or low humidity? Please we need you.

Kelthane looks good if it's way out of control or if youdont mind the chem.'sI've heard of Dicofol(1 of the first I heard of)I'd use it if I needed to.

Cool, thanks everyone for the suggestions!!! We had a signifcant drop in our temps as I installed cool tube reflectors (good for a 8 degree drop - thank you!!!) as well as with the winter onset we are running about 68-74 degrees. The mites appear to have gone on vacation as they are no where to be seen, but I'm sure the little bastards will be back in the spring. We also started spraying with sulphur for mildew which may have helped as well as put in a co2 generation system. Thanks again everyone for their input!!!

God I love hearing about people getting rid of the problem (even if its not permanent). They are the nastiest thing I have ever encountered. Aside from the suggestions already made, I spray with Einstein Oil (neem oil with sesame oil in it) every week. The Einstein kills a lot more eggs then Neem oil.

I would definitely agree that temperature is the most important aspect. Take care of ventillation and temperature and then you can really take advantage of other methods.

My friend uses a product called FloraMite. Its fairly nasty but can be used in a very diluted form. Its hard to find since it is only sold typically in 1 quart amounts for about $140. Some hydro shops dilute it themselves and sell small amounts for around $10-$12. Its less then a teaspoon per gallon and pretty much is guaranteed to get rid of the problem.

AVID, Kills mites dead. Don't mess around, spray the plants with this stuff before they go to bud and the mites are gone for good. AVID is a systematic miticide, which means it continues to kill for months.

I have heard of a lot of people using Dichlorvoros (the chemical in no pest strips) and it works for some. The key is how much air exchange is happening in the room. If the no pest strip can be in the room and the chemical that it gives off reaches a high enough saturation in the room it will work. My room always exchanged air to fast for the no pest strips to work.

AVID always works though.

Has anyone ever used a sulphur based product? I was using some stuff to eliminate some mildew issues and the bag label indicates it will also work on mites... Just wondering??????
