Have used just about everything listed in this thread except Avid. The mites survived it all. NO PEST STRIPS wiped them out in a few hours with the ventilation off. Date the strips, add a new one every month. Toss the old ones after a few months. Zip lock bag will keep them fresh when not needed.
I Found Mites! Help Me Please!

Floramite is the only thing ive found guaranteed to destroy them and keep em away.
Check EBAY for small bottle.

hey cj, great info, thanks
have been fanatical about cleanliness throughout cycle, while constantly checking the plants, one could say obsessively so ... anyhoo, 'bout 2-3weeks from harvest now and tonight
mad noticed small tiny black things, and under magnification, they were moving 
do the NO PEST strips really work ???
and wouldn't a blast of 91% iso be better in terms of evaporation being quicker than the 70% ???
realllllllly bummed
if anyone has used either type of iso, plz reply, thanks
peace*love

thanks norcalkell,
will see if we can't find some of those strips
meant to note that there are 9plants flowering in there and the plants were not covered in them, in fact it was minimal comparatively but regardless, they're there and these little bastards only seemed to be on the undersides of the leaves and not the flower clusters (thank goodness)
unfortunately, gotta get outta here before lights come on today and will be gone most of day so won't be able to check the plants until tonight
if we can't find these strips immediately, will the 70% or 91% iso work (without hurting the flowers and end product) until we can find them ?
please
pest free gardens to one and all
many thanks and blessings, make it a great day !

I have not had mites in years, but I did have to move locales a while ago due to them.
I did recently have some PM and a couple of thrips, and used some JMS stylet oil, and it completely got rid of everything.
Package says it also kills spider mites.
Since you have two weeks left, I would try and get some, and spray them. Then for about three or four days before harvest, mist them with clean water. Make sure they have some air blowing on them ,so the buds don't mold. Should work.
JMS is OMRI certified organic.
Or you can just leave em, and get a good clean up after harvest.

yes, they work ver very well. its best to use them in earliest stage possible, in the most confined space possible.(i.e. clone room works best)..
so clean out flowering room VERY well, no trash. treat b4 new crop goes in when the plants are smallest.
my friend has problems w/ mites returning because he is afriad to leave the pest strips in long enuff. i tell him continually to leave the strips up for a FULL WEEK, but he gets paranoid after a day and takes the strips down.
the pest strip only paralyzes the mights, it takes a couple of days for them to completey die off...

thank you all for your prompt and informative replies, much appreciated
you know, after discovering these wee small black somethings last night, and obviously freaking a little, snipped off all the leaves that they'd hitched to ... not sure it was the right thing because the are still leaves providing +mojo to the flowers as they finish, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do :wink:
so, dying to get home from work to see the babies tonight, finally do and get into a pretty serious inspection, on every leaf, stem and flower and delightedly, there doesn't seem to be any more !!!
perhaps they weren't mites after all ???????
seems way weird but we'll take the blessings of none (that we can see) being inside the tent tonight
did not get any strips, but may pick some up tomrrow
btw, do these strips emit any kind of toxin or toxic vapors onto the flowers ???
have a soil organic garden and sooo don't wanna use any chemicals if we don't have to
again, thank you all for your kindness
peaceful vibes, mad love & respect

dang, those pics kinda made us sick but can see how something like this can get outta control
fyi: this is our 1st indoor garden ever, so understanding and dialing in of all these *new* nuances will be ongoing as we learn the indoor way ... we do however have an outdoor garden every year, last year having 11femmes with 4 of them stretching over 9feet it was seriously wild, as we had to dig 3-4ft holes in the ground to (kind of) hide them, yikes, but whoa 
our end product(s) were in the exquisite category 
we pray that the photo examples above NEVER happen to anybodys beloved garden
once again, many thanks norcalkell & ogatec
your valuable time is much appreciated
nothing but love and respect xoxoxo

Just wanted to comment on whoever said Neem is a preventative and won't work on adult mites.
That statement is false. Einstein Oil (best Neem oil product available to my knowledge) works well on adults AND larva/eggs. I don't know about other neem products, but this one works very well for me and has remove any trace of mites from my garden over time. Yes, it's a better preventative measure, but it also works fairly well for getting rid of them if you mix at the dosage suggested on the bottle and spray every 2-3 days for a week or two.

thanks again everybody for all the help
turns out, not sure the pest issue was mites (???)
have been checking the plants even more obsessively over the last days and although there have found several more little somethings (and quickly smoosh them or remove entire leaf altogether) it's not been a problem since the other night, hmmm
our dear friends mr & mrs swamp came by yesterday for a visit, had a look inside the tent and hmmm, not sure what they are but they also came armed with some FloraMite ... and left some here for us just in case
only thing we can think is, have been doing lots of spring cleaning outside + getting the outdoor garden area ready for the season, so perhaps they're just another small pest brought in from outdoors ???
all the plants are sooo close to finishing and sooo don't wanna spray chemicals ....... but WILL if we have to
thanks again everybody ... make it a beautiful day !

floramite destorys mites, but i wouldnt use it near harvest....there is a new product on the market out and its not even big yet...its called Dr. DoRights and trust me for that 9-1-1 pre-harvest pest or mildew infection it just kills it....it works with colloidal chemistry so the plants just eat it up, all organic, completly safe, and it degrades with air and light so in 4-7 days VOILA! no mas. Ive seen it cure Chems, Sours, and other rough mamas....

if you raise your co2 ppm to 4000 for about 30 minutes, all mites will die, must use smc spray to prevent eggs from hatching... works for me

norcalkell,,,, those pictures are brutal.... what the fuck did you do? I'm mad sorry to see those, at least it's in the past. I haven't cut my hair in nine years and the thought of getting mites in my shit is sketching me out.

I tried the no pest strips It seemed to work at first. They have been in the veg room for almost two weeks and I still have mites. I caught the problem a little late so they were pretty bad.

I just made up some LC#2 and top dressed some houseplants with it while I am waiting for it to cook up. SPIDER MITES I assume coming from the FFOF I used.
So, is there anything I can mix into the LC while it is cooking to kill off spidermite eggs without killing the micro herd?????

Question about the No Pest Strips. Where do you put these strips? Do you just hang them in the room, or do you lay them on top of the soil, or hang them from the plant itself? How many do you put out to control them?
I am going to try the spot treatment with iso alc. and then fog my room with AzaMax. As well as scrub everything down with the bleach solution. Hopefully this will take care of it.

Only way I've found to keep my garden pest free is to bug bomb at near-nuclear levels between grows.
I buy 6 packs of the generic pyrethrum bombs at Lowes (very cheap). I usually bomb twice between grows, once after harvest and once a day before the new clones are introduced into the garden.
I used the No-Pest Strips for a few years and they never killed anything, they didn't work at all.
