I believe the ''No Pest Strips'' helped me, but it all depends on how much space you have it in. I put mine right above my plant for 2 weeks, then added another till the month was over, while in veg. I would never use it while budding. But i had gotten a spray , cant re call the name, but it was free, its posted last page or so, but this stuff really worked and organic. The strips helped, but my area was to big for the amount i used or the spray worked better, because now no mites are visible. Id go with the neem oil for preventive measures, but if ya got them the spray was free and after using it, not long after they were gone. I think it helped to remove the top soil where eggs are several times if you have them.

I read this thread and a guy hung a string from the ceiling to the top of his cola and also put one of those fly sticky paper things just above the string. I guess mites like to travel to the top, he said so all the mites would clime the string and get stuck to the fly paper. He said they even would crawl over their dead buddies to get atop, only to stick to the fly paper and die. I thought it was interesting, i think there is a pic too.

People who say the no pest strip worked over night either lied or had a 2'x2'x2' box. Just my experience with them, they suck thats for sure.
