I brush my teeth with avid, and then rinse my mouth out with floromite.
That's safe right?
No! Don't do it!
Brush with gasoline and rinse with bleach. Much safer!

I would use Azasol rather than Azamax or Azatrol. Azasol is oil free, causes no phytotoxicity, is more systemic, no smell after drying [to humans], no mess, similar price, dissolves instantly. In sum, more effective.
Best way is to mix in a bucket, cover top of root ball with a rag or cardboard and immerse everything above ground. That way you get 100% coverage, and dunking them washes off many mites and eggs. Also, spray walls, doors, floor, entire container including the bottom. Non messy since it's oil free.
The big key that has given me a once and for all kill [till I carry more in], is to do a second dunk 36 hours later, followed by another in 48. This kills any hatchlings before they have a chance to lay more eggs. Plus you're done in 4 days. I usually follow this procedure using Spinosad w/wetting agent the first 2 treatments, with Azasol for the 3rd.
What has worked well for me has been to spray the plants with Azasol during the first week of 12/12 as a preventive. No mites thru harvest. Haven't had mites in the 2 years since I started this one preventive treatment.
I've also gotten rid of mites using only Spinosad w/wetting agent for 4 treatments. Spray, again in 36, 36, 48.
Regardless of what you use, read label and pH water to label instructions before adding pesticide. Good luck. -granger
Listen, the OP has a bad Mite problem and is asking what he should do.
Does anyone have any help for him? If not, the mods should close this thread.
Hi there,
I've had some really persistent mites over here and it's been bothersome. I've only ever used Floramite and they keep coming back. Yesterday I sprayed a whole lot of Floramite and today I came back to find that the mites are still there.
I also have Forbid and Avid.
So my questions are;
-- which one should I use now Avid or Forbid?
-- how does one use all 3 together? can I rotate between them? or do I have to wait to use one fully (26-28 days) then switch to the other? Can I use Floramite one day then 2 days later Avid 2 days later Forbid and just rotate?
-- Could it be something to do with the PH? the manual says when mixing the solution should be 5.5 to 6.5 -- I don't test it, should I be?
Granger did, he gave him great advice, unlike some of the others.
I think that disputing dangerous recommendations is right on subject for this thread.
Why should the MODS close this thread?
This is not only my opinion, it's the manufactures and the FDA's also.In your opinion.
Huh? Who disputed dangerous recommendations?
I did see that come up once, and I read all three pages before the MOD deleted two pages of insults and fighting.Because some people have turned it into a CHEM vs ORGANIC fight.
Maybe, just maybe, it's you taking it so personally.
Yes you did, in this thread currently. You're beginning to contradicting yourself at this point it's hard to take anything you say as true.I never advocated the use of Avid. And that Granger's advice was 'Great' was your opinion.
And, I'm done with you. Notice the OP has not returned? Wonder why.

I agree!
I thought, just on the outside chance that one of them was a Biochemist, that they could explain it to us....it been a LOOOOOONG time since my last class....maybe there was something I missed.

How does neem working as a birth control while it is being ingested at high doses make it nasty stuff?
Marijuana makes you higher than a kite. It must be really nasty.
You chemical guys are some funny mofo's.
