johhny...nobody is being an asshole towards you, we are just trying to warn you that Raid is not a good choice, in fact it could be rather harmful to your health..please re-read curiuos2garden post

Raid is no doubt very effective at killing any bug, so nobody doubts that Raid works very well....the concern is your health, and anyone else smoking your pot

I get the distinct impression he is a seller of his plants and not a consumer and that is why unless I know the grower, well, I only consume what I grow.

Johhny take it easy its just hard for an exp grower to even think about raid NO Matter what the can says. Thats why you are getting colorful replys lol Its a poision in most cans and over time you will learn to use other things
for Example some growers have used :
If it sounds plusable then research it first.

Lady bugs, they are a fantastic crowd controller you could say. They can control a major amount of pests and bugs.

ph water 8.0 + and sprayed on.
Neim oil sprayed on. But do this NOT under a light and wait for it to dry before you put it back under. better off when the lights are out and use a green light.
Same as sm90 but this is a pesticide and i think that is always a last resort.

So these are just a few of many.

Raid... hahahaha! I feel sorry for you.


Anyways, if the mites are not all over, your best option is to do some slight defoliating. Remove the leaves that are infested. If the infestation is bad... spray it down with something organic. (If the buds are dense, you will end up with bud rot. The water will get trapped in the bud, causing it to rot.) There are plenty of natural solutions online. Look around, and good luck.

Never had mites in flower but you can try DI water I heard works just keep good air circulation and ventilation to prevent mold
 
Dude the MSDS sheets are the true facts of the products. If you like consuming RAID. There is nothing I can say to change your mind. It safer to use Borex than this stuff if you actually have a pest problem in your house.

MSDS Sheets are done by 3rd party auditing firm that is responsible for what they write because it submitted to government. Raid can pull out whatever stops for there marketing. 99% MSDS SHEETS DO NOT LIE. The other reason why is because DOT regulation needs to see if the items are transportable by AIR. God forbid they get into accident or something. They need countermeasure on what type of loads they are carrying especially RAID products.

RAID Items should be listed under hazmat. WTF may cause central nerve issue. Sounds like something from World War I where they were using mustard Gas.

When a Big Corp puts safe for gardens. It is such a marketing play on words.

RAID own by JC Johnson
1. Multinational Corp.
2. Has a department full of attorneys
3. If you do win a suit which I highly doubt it. You'll be all screwed up by there chemicals.
4. RAID is expensive why waste the money
5. Why use pesticide. Don't we get enough from our food that we need to add RAID on top of it.
