Spider Mites?


Recommended Posts

Just nuked a light out break of red spider mite in the last couple of weeks myself.

Here's a pic I took of the spider mite and it also shows what I think is an egg.

Bought a bottle of Kill-A-Mite (Group 6A Insecticide. It's used on pears, apples, tomatoes, citrus, hops, strawberries and ornamentals.)

Cost $30 for a 100ml bottle and I was told to use it at 1ml / lt

A light folar spray on and under leafs and it killed them all

Being a systemic insecticide it will hang around for when the eggs hatch and as soon as the babies start to feed they'll die.

It takes a couple of weeks to dissipate out of the plants system so don't use it if you're close to harvest.

Good Luck.
