I honestly don’t see how you don’t get them more with the dogs in and out. Once the weather warms up I don’t go in the grow room until I’ve showered and changed from the day. Mites are just a pita

My study on dichlorvos indicates it CAN work, but in lots of cases the mites don’t die at all, instead the plant dies. Also… Just seeing them on the shelf in their foil pouches gives me the creeps because it’s organophosphates cousin of VX gas. shudder

2 spotted spider mites are the fucking devil. I came so close to just burning everything down and starting over. I finally knocked them out by spraying Azamax for 4 days, heavy, shit dripping everywhere. One day off, then 4 days with the Therapy. And repeat. Damn near killed my moms. But haven’t seen any since. Fought them for 7-8 months. Good luck brother.

I tried to search this topic and didn’t seem to find the word predator anywhere so I have tried ask have you really considered bringing in the foreign legion to slaughter them for good maybe??
Predator mites may be your best long term solution.

Another thing I’m sure that’s been mentioned is spider mites develop resistance to pretty much all pesticides if they survive a couple rounds of applications. Home made remedies are less than useless despite what is said.

That is dichlorvos.

Personally, I think it does as much damage to your brain as it does the bugs. That’s the side effect of the organophosphates.
