Definitely post a photo bro. Mites in general are never good. Is this outdoors or indoors btw? What is the moisture levels in your setup? The problem with mites is that they love moisture. I use a concoction of alcohol and water or dishwasher soap works. It must be a pretty bad infestation. White mites in general love the color yellow for some reason. I put some petroleum jelly or yellow paper with petroleum jelly which works for me.

Btw if you use the dishwasher soap method. make sure you don't spray the flowers. No one wants to be tasting soap. If you want my recipe for alcohol concoction please let me know.

Forgot to add never spray any flowers with any of these concoctions.


Always glad to help.

Bro really RAID. I am not sure it would be edible at that point. Alcohol or H202 or even dish soap would of went better. Are you going to consume it when you spray RAID all over it?

I can't believe the things people suggest.
If you want something you can use to the very end Mighty Wash by NPK industries is the shit.
It's 99.8335 percent water and the rest inert ingredients.
It's water that's undergone a process , it contains nothing toxic, no oils, it's fucking water that's undergone a process and it kills mites and eggs like you wouldn't believe.
Spray it on your flowers it won't harm them , just make sure they dry out so you don't have a mold problem.

I agree RAID is bad. Not the best thing to use. If you do spray RAID. I am speechless. I mean the motto is kill on contact and they specialize in kill insects or pests. Its killing off life.

1. Its made by big Corp.
2. They specialize in killing bugs. Anything that kills on contact is never good.
3. Its marketing. I mean garden is such a vague term.
4. Dude its RAID dude.
5. If you can't pronounce the chemical name. I would stay clear of it. No one wants mutant babies or cancer.

There are a lot of alternatives out there beside RAID. A Big Corp has billions and billions of dollars. So if something goes wrong they will settle. You won't see the side effect until years later. Its like Monsanto and it genetic engineer Frankenfoods.
