Just finished tossing all my plants after a losing battle with broad mites :sad:. I'm in the start all over phase and need to clean my equipment.

I also happen to be moving soon too and I really, really need to make sure I don't transfer those fuckers over. Is bleach the best thing I can use to clean my equipment and does it for sure kill the eggs?

These broad mites were super broad mites from hell. Not even forbid or avid slowed them down. Never seen any mites that forbid couldn't kill before. Fuck my life right now.

I'm trying my best to be very careful. Couple showers a day(always one right before going to new place), couple change of clothing a day, several different pairs of shoes and latex gloves and coveralls when in the area where i have the broads.

Id personally RE bleach everything once u setup again with fans on once aprayed and wiped down.if ur using soil id recommend buying different soil and using what u have already in the garden for veg or whatever.

If people treated their living gardens this way prolly wouldnt see mites, except for the buddy clones....lol
No worries you'll knock them down, just recall the real original vector

Do NOT get this shit in your water or plants. It's super concentrated

I got a bottle of this long time ago when the forum told me it would help organic scum in a hydro reservoir....never used it, sits on a shelf.

from the manu Physan 20 can be applied to plants as a foliar spray to control pathogens. However, it is NOT an insecticide and will not kill aphids, mites, scale, or pests of this sort. Physan 20 leaves no harmful residue if foliage is dried and smoked. http://www.physan.com/hydroponics.html

lol I see the point you're making but gotta disagree a bit. It's not at all like adding more fertilizer, too much fert can harm your plant but too much bleach for clean up will only waste bleach in worst case scenario.
