Spider mites
Newly registered user here, but have several year growing experience. Spider mites, ugh! I live in the hot and dry desert southwest and have battled the bastards for years. Just when I think I won the war, there they are again. I even moved! Being desparate, about a month ago I purchased a couple No Pest Strips thinking at least they'll keep the gnats away. Well, I haven't seen a live mite in a couple of weeks. Wow! Thank you very much, Opie.
All's not perfect, though. I still see hundreds of eggs. Is the strip preventing the eggs from hatching? Did it kill the eggs? Or, please no, are there critters that I haven't spotted? Attached (I hope) is a pic taken thru a Radio Shack 60x-100x set at 60x. Kinda hard to see, but its the underside of a leaf, all the white dots are eggs.
Thanks
