Spider Mites

[hempy]

I don't get it...
Well, logic tells me these new age spider mites are amune to everything.
And what kills them don't kill the eggs. All it takes is one egg and a few days before mites will reappear.
Came to the conclusion that a spider mite EGG killer is needed.
Any Ideas????
btw... I have tried just about every product out on the market along with home brews... It controls them but don't eliminate them.
I have tore my grow chambers apart and bleached everything before starting again and ta da... Here they come again...
Never had this problem in my 30 years of growing pot. Couple of sprays of garlic/soap/vinegar and there gone!
So... Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I've always had luck with Safer Products. Alternativly you could invest in an electronic pest detterant as it keeps many insects away from your garden.

Not for these mites... Those are mellow deterants..
Need a egg killer...
Nice try though.. <smerks>

Am currently controlling them with yet a new product. Is safe for vegetables, brand name: Green Light
It has 50% Malathion. Label says: Green LIGHT- 50% Malathion Insect Spray
Like the rest... But in my case has been the BEST it controls the mites but never the eggs. An these mites must be laying eggs as they come out of eggs. These are super mites.
My current last three harvestes have been above average, but been a pain in the ass controling mites. :dance:

Well you know with spidermite problems your plants will need several treatment as one treatment almost never does the job completly.

I like hot pepperwax spray my self to rid spider mites. No harm to the plant and you can use it anytime even at harvest with out affecting the taste.

Killing the mites is NOT the problem. I want something that kills the eggs.
PeppeWax works good... Actually, all the sprays to rid spider mites seem to work..
some more than the other. The stuff I'm using IS the best i've tried.
Nothing kills the eggs though... and THATS what i'm asking about.

Use a bug bomb ,wait 2-3 days and bomb again.
If you keep the temp low they don't like it.
And they have trouble breeding in moist climate...so spray everyday...if you want to.
They thrive in hot dry places ...so make your room colder and wetter.
Or try a pestiside that you feed through the roots...that way the mite poison is in the plants and can't be avoided...Not during flower!
Systemic is what there called.

Thanks...
Most of my problem is a tight squeezed 4x4 area with 9 plants...
I need to stock up on one harvest and bloom 6. that way i can get to them easyier and may control them to a point of none existance.
Thanks again
