[SCARHOLE]

Scarholes nuclear option for mites.

Get a trash bag
Mount a Raid no pest strip to a clothes hanger
Stick it threw the top of the bag to hold it open an hang it up.
Now put your plant in under the bag to expose to the diclovis fumes.
24 hrs later your mite problem is dead as fuck.
Then use the no pest strip for 12 hrs a day for few more days to be sure they are gone an all eggs are nuked..

No offense, Scarhole, but those things are poison... If the mite are so bad that they need "agent orange", best to throw in the towel, disinfect the grow area, and keep from poisoning someone's lungs.

Try some insecticidal soap. The Safer brand works well and can usually be found at most big box stores. It's a contact killer and water soluble, so once they are dead the plants can be gently sprayed with plain water to remove any residue. It doesn't kill the eggs so retreat again in 3-4 days to get any that hatch out.

no doubt it works, but then isn't your plant absorbing that toxic crap??

Do you actually have the BORG which are red mites or just regular ole mites? Cuz imo the treatment is very different.and imho I would never use a gas bomb for growing.especially if I was gonna use it in any way.thats a lil rough imo.

ive seen small black ones and red ones too i seen some leafs are like folded and when i flip and look inside i see eggs and cobwebs too i used the soap a 2 days ago aggresively to try and kill adults wherever they hide and day after i saw some pistils went all orange and thats scary i read that it should be ok in a few days. its been 2 days since i sprayed them i can see some new pistils tho but i see more mites and im afraid to use the soap again@@

I been reading about an alcohol mixture that is strong anyone tried this before?

will it kill my flowers if i use again??
