So recently I went to safeway to do some grocery shopping and came across this dish soap.
Its just dish soap, yes, but its worked wonders for me. I've had spider mite problems for months now... those little bastards just keep coming back even after multiple applications of neem oil mixed w/ whatever dish soap I had... until I came across this stuff. It says on the label that it contains lavender floral and mint extracts for aroma. Both of which are are natures pesticides. Bugs apparently absolutely hate the smell of lavender or mint and it seems that some people plant things like lavenders, marigolds, or use a mint spray to keep pests at bay outdoors. Now I just spray every week or so with just water and a small amount of this soap to prevent the mites from coming back and after 3 weeks so far no mites... it makes my grow tent smell a bit like lavender + mint combining with the smell of the plants and mixing into almost a black pepper smell everything thats mites hate. Im in no way affiliated with this brand I just thought it was an awesome thing I came across for pests and wanted to share it. its 3-6 bucks online so its cheap, natural, and effective.
