Do you keep one hanging at all times to keep other pests away as well, or is it just a mite problem? Just curious. The only pest problem I've ever had was the mites, and since the strips are so toxic I thought it would be best to not keep em around if I wasn't having a pest problem. If you don't have a strip hanging do mites get back into your grow area? My big mistake was bringing home a clone that had mites on it, and I've not had a problem otherwise. I know other areas of the country have bigger pest problems, and I was just wondering how bad yours was.
