my post were it would make sense. Thank You.

Ok for those who never realized what their loveable
Pet’s can bring when around or In a grow area Indoors.

Several years ago I had my lab sitting at the door near my grow area and I never realized the few times she ran into and out of the door of my tent looking in cause me $$$$$$ worth of plants now dusted with spider mite killer powder and a tent to be completely clean scrubbed etc over mites from my pet as I wore these slipper shoe covers that stretch up to my knee’s from my wife who is the medical field so i have a chair and sit to put them on before entering my 5x5 tent… I also have a small hand held vacuum to use before entering… ok i am a clean freak lol

Can dogs bring in spider mites?

Pets. Our furry friends, as wonderful as they are, are another source of spider mites. These pesky creatures can temporarily burrow themselves in the fur of animals like cats and dogs, and spread to plants.

My cats are indoors only so I can’t blame them.
People themselves can easily bring them in as well.
I am sure they can find there own ways inside too?
