High All

I have been dealing with spider mites for the past year or two and several times in the past. They always seem to appear and they not so easy to get rid of 100%. I know they have that fogger in the can that works very well but I'm seeking other methods of 100% kill.. Someone told me about burning sulfur. Does anyone know of this and how to do this properly?

Had the same issue in the past. Up until we used the Dr Zymes.
Went heavy with the first dose, then a lighter each day.
Great product.

Thanks Chuck. I just checked it out. Seems like a good product. I will give it a try but still wondering about sulfur.

after you come in heavy with some kind of pesticide you need predatory mites to get to 0%

The species should be Phytoselius persimilus. Not the neoselius species.

Paradoxlost..... What's the difference? Why is the Phytoselius better?

Mites are slaves to their breeding cycle. Killing all newly hatched mites (every 2-3 days) for 14 days will break the cycle. Even Safer's 3-in-1 will do this, if properly applied. Whatever you do, keep azadirachtin products away from your cannabis, a percentage of the population (myself included) have significantly nasty reactions to it. Thanks.

Look for and eliminate any outside sources of re-infection.

If you use plastic pots the top of them tend to curl outward and leave a slender gap around the ring. Also if your grow space has a smooth floor as opposed to say carpet or even concrete you will never rid these fucks.

Mites use webbing initially to ease their way from A-Z without having to walk over B and C and D and E etc. etc.

A smooth surface is always the easiest and quickest way from A-Z. Take away all their flat planes and its like cutting off the enemies bridges and supply roads. This is war people.

This is one way i use chemical less organic indoor mite control.

Theres never a need to go anywhere or buy anything when thinking outside a box.
