using azatrol takes time to killem also try azamax mix in your water and feed it to your plant, sound crazy well its not mites have a outer skelatel armor and sometimes
you got to getem from the inside out as they nible on your plant. Also splay for the babys and eggs. It took over a month tto kill them so keep the treatment going
onces your crop is down break it all down and cleean with bleach and use a bug bomb.

How strong are you mixing it? My azamax had a range of applications, anywhere from 5ml to 15ml per gallon. I used it as a foliar spray AND in the nute water. Some people have recommended vacuuming the whole bud. It will damage the leaves, but remove the mites. I would try a combo attack.
Prune the bottom of the plant as much as possible, leaving only the best buds/tops. The idea is to remove anywhere they could be breading/hiding to avoid the spray. Any dead leaf matter should be removed/trimmed as well.
Remove the plants from the grow area, clean out, and spray entire area with miticide. Depending on your area, do what you can.
Wet a cloth and wipe down as much of the plant as physically possible, stems/branch nodes are important. I used a detachable shower head to spray off all the webs/bugs i could find.
Treat the plant with something stronger than you have been using. By spraying with an improper dosage, you may have just made them resistant. Get on ebay, purchase a small bottle of Floramite/Avid. Follow Directions.
I know some people like organic.....but to me, mites are the borg, kill them quickly to prevent more spreading and damage.
Be very careful to keep up your prevention methods once you have contained this outbreak! They will always come back. Also, watch for budrot since you will be spraying them and increasing the humidity.

Go to wallmart and grab a hot shot. you just hang it up and it takes care of all the work no chemicals on your plants. i had a major problem and the hot shot took care of them in about a week. Mine were about 4 wks into flowering and this worked so good and fast that when i harvested i didnt find a single mite dead or alive.

2 litres water 5-10 ml pure cold pressed neem and a little dish soap, shake shake shake and spray soil pots stems and leaves at lights out every 4-5 days .use a lighter dose during veg every week or 10 days to stop infestations starting.
Erm, the strip releases "Dichlorvos" into the air gassing anything in the area. Seems like thats just as chemical as anything else
. This did not work for me, though it did help contain them from leaving an area. These need to be enclosed with the plant, limited ventilation in small areas, so that the chemical will buildup to high enough concentrations to kill the bugs.
