great thread. i found my way here via Azatrol research.

opie, you my hero! ima go find these gizmos.

although i have just a slight SM issue, i hate them, and all other pests.I have yet to see a web, but i have seen the discoloration spots. and of course, i have spied the buggas under a 60X scope.

i try to keep my soil garden as organic as possible, but the daily grind using organics and manual removal really sux. I have VERY little problems in veggie area, but will employ one of these pest strips in there, after they're done in bloom area.

i hate spraying anything on the girls ceptin water with a touch of liquid seaweed during veggie days, and no spray after switch to bloom, but...

Einstein Oil (cold pressed Neem oil) does seem to keep population to a minimum, but i don't like it's smell. Don't Bug Me has those pyrethreum (sp) stuffs, and label says you can apply up to day of harvest. i have used sparingly up to 4 days b4 harvest, and used my friend as guinea pig. he is beyond child rearing days, and hasn't grown any new limbs, or a 3rd eye.

Azatrol is another tool in what Opie describes as (paraphrase) a never-ending-daily-battle against SM. i have used it, with no apparent side effects on my buddy.

i always wear gloves, and a bandana over my nose/mouth when playing with einstein, DBM, and Azatrol.

BUT WHY??? i'll put one of these on opposite side of room from exhaust, and redirect my intake (deflect air away from strip's area).

hmmm...1200 cu ft. ... one or two strips???

oh well, i'll report back.
