Hi there I am currently having a spidermite problem, I have disposed of the worst affected plant but I have two that are only two weeks away from harvest, does anyone have an effective home remedy to get rid of these I have read about a pepper spray remedy and I am wanting to give this a go but would like to hear from anyone who may be able to contribute any remedy ideas or experience in getting rid of these, I thank you in advance for any assistance or contribution the pepper spray remedy I have at the moment is this:-
1.) Get a sauce pan - fill with one pint of water - put on lowest flame possible (do not boil !!!).
2.) Chop 4 -5 Habanera peppers fine. Chop open seeds and central membranes, as the power lies there.
3.) Simmer chopped peppers for 20 minutes - making sure not to boil (you will destroy the active proteins).
4.) When you put your head over the pan and the wispy-steam stings your eyes, the Calicleaner is ready.
5.) Pour the Calicleaner through a fine mesh strainer - a little fine grit is OK - let cool in a clean bowl.
6.) Pour room temperature contents in a mister spray bottle. Your are ready to apply.
