Spider mites

[LOC NAR on probation]

ok I know this message is a little old, Ive read the WHOLE message (all 9 pages)(LOL)... are these strips still avail ?
Ive been fighting mites for 2 mos...
some of my stuff is flowering, and I need to get rid of the SM asap, 7 days away appx, Can I still use them ? Are strips or a pyrethrum bomb the best way to go ? Id sooooo much appreciate ANY input ANYONE can tell me at all !!! Thanks so much in advance

Being so close I would use the doctor doom bomb. It will dissapate in several hours so no problems with residue on the buds.

Yes. The "no pest strips" are still available in the states.
So, you should be able to mail order them.
Try Ace Hardware, or HD.
You are WIA.

Aloha,

ok I went and got some today at home depot ($6.70 each) and have put them in my rooms (lol)..... now we will wait and see.... Guy at the hydro place said they wont work, Im not believing him as MANY MANY People in this thread have said they worked like a CHARM, I tend to believe ppl here rather than the hydro place that just wants to sell more sprays......

I bought a big bottle of Floramite SC not relizing I need so little, 1oz makes 20 gallons of spray/dip.

I was hit hard with mites, tried lady bugs and premixed sprays without a dent.

I'd prefer non chemical, so I descided to used this, its out of the plants within 28 days.

Use it once them to knock the crap out of them and start over. Now I use, Neem oil and ladysbugs as preventive. I've been good now.

This stuff is the nuclear bomb for mites, and its easy on the plant!

I have 1oz bottles up for grabs 17$ , feel free to PM me
Local Garden shops sell 1oz bottles for 40$

Hot Shot No-Pest strip $7 @ Wallyworld I had them dang bugs bad and this strip killed them all overnight, I left it in the closet for two weeks just to be sure and they are gone...best $7 I ever spent...now I keep several spares in case they re-appear. Easiest method too.....1)unwrap 2)set in closet 3)DONE! It has no apparent effect on the finished product...stuff was great, tasty and potent.

Ok so its great they are gone in the morning, but do they pack their bags and leave, or they roll over and DIE. I have a one year old plant thats covered and i need to save her, she's my favorite strain.

Anyone know? I want them dead and not to come back.

I have someone going to wally in 20min so if ya got any answer id luv to hear ya, thanks:thumbsup:

I noticed last night a wiimpy wilted leaf and saw a few SM on the bottom. After investigating the rest of the plants Inoticed a few other leaves with a few eggs and a couple adult SM. I am not totally "infested"..yet So I am going to start a regimine to get rid and treat my space.

I Just bought some neem oil and aerosol pyrethrin spray Clean Air Purge III. TI otally dosed my plants in the grow space with the pyrethrin aerosol. I Am going to check in another 24 hours and then spray with Neem. Also, I am going to purchase some Hot Shot bug strips everyone is raving about. I will report as time goes on about my progress.

Shit! shit shit shit shit! :angry3:

Broke one of my own cardinal rules, and moved a rooted clone cut from another garden straight into my own garden. The clone rooted fine and showed no signs of bugs, now several day's later,.... BOOOM!!!!!! one of the leaves on that clone is ragged! little bastards were everywhere on that little plant!

Little bastards must have been waiting for the humidity to drop before hatching. :cursing:



On the plus side of my battle, I spray neem every other week or so as a precaution, so the rest of my plants were already fairly well defended.

The whole room got sprayed tonight :chainsaw:, and the infected clones are now quarantined.

Neem application will be slightly more often to keep new growth covered, and in a short time the little turds should be gone! :toilet_claw:


Time to take a shower and change my clothes before examining my flower room.

You mean even you can get mites?????:rasta:

Once you get those buggers they are tough to get rid of....but you know that.

Good luck.
