Spider Mites are gay. I hate thesethings with a passion. Im currently using Azotrol to treat them. Azotrol cost about $107 qt. and that makes me about 60-66 gallons a bottle. It works fine, but takes 3 treatments.

Anybody know a better way to treat or prevent spider mites ?

Well I've used Avid and Floramite, both work well. Avid is even more expensive with Floramite coming in second. Avid says two sprays a week apart, but I find one time seams to do it for me. Floramite is a one time treament that covers about a month prevention. Getting thies here in Cal. can be a problem, but I just got some Floramite in a one OZ bottle off ebay for 25 bucks delievered. They are both nasty stuff so a lot of personal protection when spraying is needed. There are a lot of other less harsh products out there but I find if you arnt going with the less aggressive product that these are the way to go.

Hope my thoughts help

Peace

For larger applications avid and floramite work great.

Honestly, in smaller spaces the Hot Shot No-Pest strips have worked great for me. Once the mites were under control in the flowering and veg rooms I setup a quarantine area that newly acquired clones have to sit in for at least a week with one of these things, regardless of whether you can see mites or not. Best part, 4-5 bucks at Wally World.

Of course all of the stuff sucks if the infestation is on a plant in late flower. Smoking avid, floramite, no-pest, etc.. is not on my to do list.

In a Word Neem Oil Bro thats it Spray it or Inject into you base of your plants.

Pest Strip They do absolutely NOTHING for me in a small, or large, area. Neem helps knock 'em down for a week or so. Floramite is the best thing I have used. It is expensive and wouldn't use in flowering cycle. In flowering I'd use the Neem Oil and then spray with fresh water the next day. Only way I had any luck in late flowering...........RD

floramite kicks ass on mites, I have used it for 2 years. pest strips are a joke and neem oil is only a temporary fix= mites build up a tolerance over time, same with bug bombs(pyrethrin) they will work once or twice than the mites just laugh at it/.,-use floramite

I use all organic safer soap to destroy the eggs and some mites, then hit them again three days later with fox farm's dont bug me and that usually does the trick.

Also rotten Ive used hotshots pest strips before inside and they worked great for me, but honestly Ive never had bad spidermites indoor.

GoGnats is a good product... primary ingredient is cedar oil and it is completely non-toxic. haven't tried using it as a foliar spray but it does wonders in the reservoir - even during flower.

edit: oops this is outdoor forum.. this stuff works well outside in soil also!
