Pure Crop 1 is safe and will work wonders on those Spider Mites. As mentioned above, clean the entire grow area and look closely are the mother or clone areas in they are present. Secondly, removed and clean every single item in the room. Spider Mites have a habit of coming back because they get into the walls thru the electrical outlets and the space at the bottom of walls between the drywall and the floor. After you have clean the whole room I would do what another support on here did. Make the grow room a perfect environment for them to grow so the eggs will hatch and you can get rid of those once and for all.
MiMed,Interesting you said that. I think i had nice healthy plants going and they drew out the winter egg hatched root aphids from the walls or cracks in the floor and i could drench them with botanigard.
Hopefully wiping them out while numbers were still low.
There were no plants in there for a month. So only new hatched bugs could be present.

MiMed,
I think it was 1diesel that mentioned doing the whole perfect environment for the spider mites to hatch, that reinforced what a contractor I know that does work for big grows in Cal, like JB do. They flat seal the whole rooms and paint and caulk every joint between the floor and the walls. They even caulk the outlet covers to the walls and they use Kiltz paint, like 3 or 4 coats. He even mentioned what you basically had happen. JB uses netting strung between pipes to support the colas. He specifically mentioned the like shits getting into those pipes.
Also these guys focus on keeping bugs out of the buildings, not so much the grow rooms because they have to pass Cali testing. I can only imagine they have orkin or someone spraying around the buildings every few days, so that basically if the bugs come near the place they are not going to want to come in. I have kind of started adopting this approach as well. I just spray outside all the time and use pure crop 1 a couple times in case anything gets inside.
MiMed I think once you get something like root aphids or spider mites you really have to do your homework to get rid of the little assholes. Both of those bastards are on my most feared list. The rest go away pretty easy but both of those are a bastard to get rid of. I know a guy that has spider mites in the walls and he tries to kill them off and he might get thru a grow after nuking the shit out of the room but they come back the next grow. It is hard to kill them off, I think why 1diesels approach works well is that if done correctly you are basically interrupting the breeding cycle of the bug. Get them to all hatch and kill them off before they get a chance to mature and create more eggs. Mother nature created a hell of a bug with both of these.Interesting you said that. I think i had nice healthy plants going and they drew out the winter egg hatched root aphids from the walls or cracks in the floor and i could drench them with botanigard.

It doesn't matter if you spray or not if you wear outside clothes in your house or near your grow room. The pests fall off of your clothes when you walk. Changing into fresh clothes or showering before stepping near the grow room is good practice.
