killing mites with co2?

[video]<a href=http://s159.photobucket.com/albums/t147/tapergonecrazy/?action=view&current=IMG_20111006_192145.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t147/tapergonecrazy/IMG_20111006_192145.jpg border=0 alt=></a>[/video]I'm trying to kill spider mites I used sprays ,compost tea, neem oil so all I seen that it slowed it down. So I desided to do co2 sealing the room off and putting it up to 10.000 ppm for three hours, so the bugs look killed under the scope but I need to know if it killed the eggs too? And one more thing my bubba kush got rust spot all over the shade leafs it still growing and looking good with the frost and growth just wondering if there something I can do or just let it go? Thanks..

wont kill the eggs, you will need to do it a few times in a row to kill off the newborns before they can lay eggs

If your not getting them with the neem oil then your not doing it right. Also Neem dose not kill the mites rite away they stop eating and or breeding and die over time. You absolutley must apply neem oil every three or four days for a period of at least three weeks to completely eradicate spider mite. Also applying every two weeks whether you have mites or not will keep you from getting mite and it will also keep mold and powdery mildew away.
 
What im thinking there should be a schedule for the neem and oils im not thinking it kills eggs.. I did a doktor doom this morning in my veg room and did another round of co2 in my flower room, last night i did find some alive in the flower room i dont see any new spotted leafs yet. ill let u guys know how it works out.
