Um. Neem is effective - I think you'll find the rest of that shit a waste of time though.

Are you talking about safers Endall? If its the Endall 2 that stuff is pretty much garbage
Um. I've found Safer's EndAll an excellent miticide . . . although it takes a number of treatments over fairly short intervals to actually eradicate them and the
pyrethrin concentration is a bit low.
And even at a low price of $7 bottle, I'd need 30 of them to do my whole room . . .
I've had really good results mixing my own -
Neem Oil, Insecticidal Soap, and
Pyrethrin concentrate are all readily available and the insecticidal soap serves as an emulsifier for the neem . . .

A p-bomb is a
pyrethrin fogger or fumigator. Some people have had some success with these but my mites laughed at them
Yea it depends on the strain of mites - many are
pyrethrin resistant - some are not.
The first mites I ever had ate it when I popped one of those - didn't see mites for a year until I brought home some infected clones - these fuckers are seriously
pyrethrin resistant - I can't get bifenthrin to kill them off for more than a couple days.
Apparently
pyrethrin resistant mites are real fucking common now - first ones apparently popped up just a few years after the introduction of bifenthrin for major agricultral applications.
