Are these the same type of mite you see running around bags of mulch?I have some mulch in my shed that has baby centipedes and these little white guys that look like those mites in it running all over the mulch chips and in the mulch soil at the end of the bag.If that was the case I wonder if that would act as an natural inoculation of mites.the centipedes I heard don’t harm the plant and eat the baddies
I mean it’s almost the same method of delivery like the bottle just a different medium you would think right?
No idea unless you look at them under a scope and have pics of other types to figure it out.
They look like these guys

Yup, those are h. miles.
Although, be sure it’s more of a yellowish/tan/brown because they generally come in those colors but are white when they’re younger I believe. Some mites can be confused for them I read awhile back
Awesome I’m going to try putting some of that on if this DE don’t work

This Vietnam Thunder Fuck was hit with spider mites while it was being sexed outside…its finally in vegetative mode and mite free…both male & female VTF were hit by mites…I collected the VTF pollen and it’s in the foil packet…
This works folks been using it 18+ years…and its organic…

Got a question if anyone knows the real answer or someplace to verify about these little fuckers and more to the point the eggs. How long are the eggs viable at room temperature? If I clean and bleach but still miss a few eggs will they go dormant until there is soil or some trigger to make them hatch ? Presuming I have eradicated all adults how long till I can safely think I’m clean and no more spider mites in my grow area unless I accidentally bring in a fresh batch ?? Will the eggs die in a general number of days?

Interesting info on suggested miticides and rotating them and which ones affect eggs.
I just ordered some tetrasan in 2 ounce package. https://www.syngentacropprotection.com/assets/assetlibrary/miticide_rotation.pdf

I had enough and I filled every clone cup and all my smart pots at least 2 inch thick of DE and I had to slow my water down to almost an iv drip and I cleaned out the tent and I found at least 400 dirt gnats in piles I tossed DE on the floor of the tent too and it has decimated the population of little motherfuckers tent is clean now .I’m going to wait it out a little bit longer then I’m going to scoop out the DE and 2 inches of soil with it and I’m going to do a Neem oil soap nut drench to kill the eggs after and follow up with neem and soap nut sprays every week till I drop.I’ve never had a pest cause this much damage and I want to nuke everyone of them off the face of the earth with fire
