They are the worst and can and do become resistant to poisons

AzaMax works really well for now, if you do have a problem

 

[Nike617]

azamax could you alaborate on that if you don't mind like where do I get it and how do I use it. Thanks knock on wood im just finding out this info to be on the safe side.

Its made by General Hydroponics, you just mix it with water and spray

It is some what non toxic too

LOL
oh they will be everywhere

I dont get crazy, I just coat the tops of the plants with a mist once a week

I heard they just stay on leaves and on the bottoms. That's what Jorge Cervantes said too lol. Hey how much do you use per spray bottle lol? or do you mix it in a gallon and then put it into a spray bottle.

Neem oil works well, a 50-50 alcohol and water solution works very well but doesnt kill the eggs so you want to spray and respray again 3-4 days later

 

[707Humboldt$born707]

About 10 drops a quart

but a quart of AzaMax is like 70 dollars

and AzaMax has Neem in it

 

[Nike617]

ehh I dont care its worth it as long as it works. I mean a quart can go far. how much do you spray?

 

[707Humboldt$born707]

Not much, a quart at a time
It does go a very long way

 

[Nike617]

wait you spray one whole quart at one spraying?

 

[707Humboldt$born707]

wait you spray one whole quart at one spraying?

Ya but you dont know the size of my room

 

[Nike617]

oh well I just have a 10 sq foot room with 4 girls. so I wouldn't use that much hahaa. how often do you have to do it until their gone?

Once you have them you cant really get rid of them unless you shut down for awhile

Avid used to get rid of them but the mites are getting a resistance to it

AzaMax
Florimite
Forbid
Avid
all work well but Avid is super toxic and should only be used on babies

ok cool ill go with azamaz well if it doesn't get rid of them then what does it do. I hope I never have to use it if you know what I mean but just making sure I do just in case lol.

It kills them but you will never get them all

they breed ever 3 days and they spread like wildfire

 

[Nike617]

ohhhh ok cool so as long as my room stays clean ill be good are their other ways to keep them away?
