2 spoted spider mites vs sulfur burner

[dreamnfox]

Looks like i caught these guys early, at least no webs yet. Last summer I used this for broad mites and it worked great. Figured i would document this time and see how well it works. Tonight will be the first run. About 1.5 hours after light off burner will kick on and run for 1 hour. Exhust fan and inside fans will be off. In the morning i will open the garage door and turn on the exhaust fan. Will repeat every 3 days till nothing is moving. These plant will be moving outside in 2 weeks. Hope to have it cleared up by then. Will take more pictures and update along the way

The mites are mostly hitting the wedding cake

I've had luck with an RTU neem oil, sprayed the hell out of the plant on both sides of the leaves every 2-3 days, cleared up after a couple weeks.

Never seen a sulfur burner before, very curious. Keep us posted!

How did it turn out with the sulfur burner?

Knocked them way back then moved them to the greenhouse. Now just using predator mites and lady bugs. If they aren't totally gone soon I will run the burner in the greenhouse.
