Spider mites

[BOYZNUS]

Opie Yutts, YOU ARE THE BOMB.

AFTER READING THIS THREAD, I PUT A STRIP IN EACH OF MY ROOMS.

AFTER 2 WEEKS, I SEE ABSO-FUCKING-LUTLY NOTHING MOVING ON THE PLANTS.

I SEE HALF HATCHED EGGS. ALSO NON HATCHED EGGS. AND DEAD MITES.

AFTER 2 WEEKS, I TAKE THE STRIPS OUT.

THEY ONLY COST $5.95 AT HOME DEPOT.

SAVED ME HOURS OF WORK AND I NOW HAVE ALL MY HAIR. ( I QUIT PULLING IT OUT).

THNX FOR THE INFO.

Okay.... All my lady bigs are dead for the year....so....

So here are a couple of questions I have not seen covered in this thread.

1. How close to harvest would you do this? (or not do this)
I am likely 3-6 weeks from harvest.

2. Do you need to rinse or wash the plant/bud or anything in the room after use?

3. How do you get the eggs off so you can smoke?

4. If you enter the room after putting it out... should you shower and or remove and clean clothing?

Thanks

OPPIE YUTTS,,, WHERE ARE YOU??

WANTED TO UPDATE YOU ON THE NO PEST STRIP ORDEAL.

Ok I started this thread and have read all that was said and I finaly got rid of those bastards for good I hope because I haven't seen a single one through this harvest and almost finished with it. Here's how I got rid of the som-bitches. I bombed with Pyrethrum first and then 4 days later bombed again so I would get the new hatchlings. Then I sprayed Kelthane 2 days later which I think is the key to get rid of them. The no-pest strips did not work for me and maybe because the room is to big. I had 3 in my room for 6 months and they still multiplied. I pulled all mothers and started with new ones because they were loaded also. I tried the bombs before and slowed them down but when I added the Kelthane to it they all went away. All was done when I was in 1st week of bloom.

Being the cheap skate I am, I assure you that I have tried every home remedy, ever pestaside, (short of nukeing) and I end up with only two words for you..PREDATOR MITES!
Yeah, they are a little costly but nothing compairs to the results. I have seen a garden heavly infected with si
spider mites, you know , the leaves are brightly poka dotted with the yello bite marks, well I have seen predator mites complety turn around the health of the garden. :dance:
And, if your sadistic enough, watching the predators chase, capture, and distroy (eat) the spiders, can be very entertaing through the use of a maganifing glass

Great thread, I am interested to see more opinions. I read everything... I am kind of sold on those pest strips, however I just put a buncha lady bugs in my room, will the pest strips kill the lady bugs? Have to assume so.

The weed gods gave us HID lighting and "AVID"--------only thing I've ever tried------worked great-----one application. The toxin for these critters is absorbed into the plant tissue and stays awhile------so DON"T apply after flowering.

Small bottles were sold at african violets.com-----didn't check for site.

Thanks, I've wondered where you can get that, because no real stores around here will sell it without a bunch of hoops to jump through, and even then, probably not. If I had an infestation so bad that the strips would not kill the mites, and that would have to be pretty bad, I would try Avid, if I could get it. I have no doubt this works well. I may also consider bombing.
