I see many people having trouble with spider mite. I get them every crop during the spring and summer months and they are very easy to get rid of or prevent simply by 2 pre-emptive applications of the pesticide bifenthrin 7 days apart to break the cycle of any potential eggs that have been laid.
never heard of it.
but I looked it up..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifenthrin
On a large scale, bifenthrin is often used against
red imported fire ants. It is also effective against aphids, worms, ants, gnats, moths, beetles, grasshoppers, mites, midges, spiders, ticks, yellow jackets, maggots, thrips, caterpillars, flies, and fleas. It is mostly used in orchards, nurseries, and homes.
In the agricultural sector, it is used in great amounts on certain crops, such as corn.
About 70% of all hops and raspberries cultured in the United States are treated with bifenthrin
