Alti, any idea if something like lavender extract would work, be worth trying? Garlic spray? I'm experimenting with tomato leaf spray on a spider mite infestation. The plants affected just happen to be the mother plants that survived the Attack of the Root Aphids. All got subsequent PM that was very difficult to eradicate. The tomato leaf spray I'm using does also have yarrow and a little lavender in it, I also put in 1-2tsp non-antimicrobial dish soap when I mix up the spray. Now I've got Dr. Bronner's Hemp Peppermint Castille and bought myself two more lavender plants, going to continue with that and hope my rosemary grows more.

Outside of that.... steam/heat. Which would likely kill the plants if they're not rooted. An entire dip. Or a saltwater dip, like we do with freshwater fish that are infected with external parasites. I have no idea how either of these treatments would work, or if they'd do anything at all. But outside of literally throwing the kitchen sink at them, ya know..? It's getting pretty caustic.

So did you manage to eradicate?

Mine are gone in my veg room. I used a 3 way mixture of Organacide (surfactant), Aquashield (innoculant), and Avid (systemic). Tank mix worked fine...killed those fuckers and their eggs, but now my veg room smells like the Seattle Fish Market...

Still got em in the damn bloom room...those fuckers are evil!!!! Trying daily alcohol and anything else that might be safe, but I'm 5 weeks in...pretty low on options. Trying to run the room hot!

Alt: how did the fight end up? I had to battle theses as well. I baked my room (turned lights on with no ac or fans till my temps hit 150), then i bleached everything, then baked again. No signs of them back but i have a buddy that cant get rid of them.
