I understand that most people aren't going to but this but I'll share it non the less.
If you do some research on orchids and there pests, you will come come with spider mites and sugar/water or sugar/oil.
Then if you do a search of the impact of h202 on soft bodied pests you will learn about oxidation.
I just came down with a bit of a infestation of spider mites and decided to go completely organic. I use a spray that is 1c molasses, 1c h202 and 1 gallon of water.
The process works by the h202 killing any eggs or soft bodied pests it touches. Then the sugar works by killing the hard bodied pests from the inside out.
I sprayed them with h202 3 nights and the sugar mixture only once and out of 10 fan leaves from all over I only found I alive and one dying. I would say I'm above a 90% death rate at this point.
You don't have to believe me all you need to do is try it on a small scale test and see what happens. I've had plenty of people give me shot and continue to doubt me even though I have a positive death rate.
By the way my plants look so much better than a week ago pre sugar spray.
Off topic but I'm going to let the lady bugs do the rest at this point. I got 300 which is for about 500sqf in a 50sqf area. Then I got a mantis coming to clean up the catipellers and left over lady bugs.
These are all dead from my spray and there are many more.
