Anyone know the right mix for Dr. Boner's Peppermint Oil for mites?

Someone here said not to use this because it is hippy shit and stick to Spinosad.

It has Castille soap and :
Other Ingredients: Water, Saponified Organic Coconut & Organic Olive Oils (with Retained Glycerin), Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Peppermint Oil, Mentha Arvensis Extract, Citric Acid, Vitamin E


A lot of the ingredients you find in mite sprays. Peppermint oil, Citric Acid, other oils and also Castille soap is supposedly better than Dawn and easier on the plants. Supposedly he also adds alcohol or ethanol but it is not shown in the ingredients.

32 ozs on sale for $13.57 and Vitamin Shoppe which is a rip off place. An online retailer has a gallon of this for $20. It will last forever if it works for mites. I was told by a few growers that it is good.

But how many tablespoons per gallon of water?

Is this all you use or do you add anything? Veg and flower? Is it effective? Thanks. 8-)
I also add coco wet at the same rate, though lately I've been skipping the coco wet with the peppermint. I spray this once a week in veg.
Once a week I also spray neem emulsified in pro tekt with coco wet, all at the same rate listed above. Sometimes I use karanja or lavender oil, but usually neem from ahimsa organics. This is also sprayed in veg.
I don't spray anything in flower.
Yes this works well for me!

Thanks. Yeah the Bronner stuff is more of an oil than a soap. Has all sorts of oils and feels almost greasy.
