RE: how to get rid of spider mites without pesticides or oils

in #cannabis6 years ago

Oh predatory mites are better and ladybugs NEVER stay. And they can't eat enough to make a difference...

I think the blower with Diatomatious earth is the best. Pyrethiens are last case emergency.

Using water and wind to knock down the population is good.

Also I use 25% alcohol and 75% water to get the eggs and mites. They hates it. Spray under leaves and tarp off pots.

It also works great as a dunk for vegetation. Just don't get the alcohol in the roots.

Mites are a special kind of war. I usually have them as unless you are running crazy chemicals they happen.
