Have you ever used green lacewing larvae? I had a small mite problem that just wouldn't go away. Irritating as hell, numerous sprays and they kept on coming back. So I ordered 1000 lacewing eggs, took about a week to hatch em but when they hatched they were mite devouring monsters. Cleaned em out, all natural. I have since been more diligent with keeping a much cleaner environment. If I ever am blessed with mites again ill give this a shot. Thanks for the brew calibuzz.

Hey dart!

No. I have not. It sounds like a super interesting go for it.

Since I have had 100% success with CALICLEANER, I have found little need for preditor bugs, aside from the lovely lady bug - for maintainence.

But wow! This I have to experiment with.

Would you kindly post a link for myself and the audience please?

Super!

My very best.

Peace

oh im talking about the bug, soft scales (sets upon place, forms a shield around it and starts sucking(its a sucky sucker) (it shits sugar too, sticks everything together lol)
luckily its a slight infestation this time around and i aint buying that particular brand of soil again,definetly the culprit :)

interestingly, ive found this out about soft scales.. they will not cross the red leavesstems of some plants and the purple stems of yet another strain.

so possibly tying a red tape or something around the base of the stem, would hinder them conquering a plant in the future (might work on other critters too?) any thoughts on that? anyone?

i think im going to try your pepper spray to kill the younglings (the old ones you just scrape off, i have just about small enough of a grow to be able to do that)

My humble apologies dude,

However, I have nothing to offer at this juncture. I would defer to you on this issue and ask about results, if you have a problem with this pestulant and wish to try CALICLEANER as a probable solution.

Beauty,

Thanks!

Peace

Sorry calibuzz, I don't have a link to the lacewings I just had the my local hydro store order them for me. But the eggs do change color when the hatch. They go from green to grey. Id say once they hatch they are about 3x the size of a adult mite.

For sure, I'm always down to help a fellow out. Does your spray work on other bugs or is it just mites, I'm sure it would toast thrips other insects too.

Kudos to you Calibuzz for your tolerance. I have been schooled. If I may suggest to the lower life forms that think this is just too much work, try a thrift store crock pot set on warm. If that is difficult for you then how do you multitask breathing and hearing?
Calibuzz, I plant marigolds with my tomatoes to control aphids. I discovered this about 2000 years ago(allegory?)
Do you know of a similar symbiotic repellent for these spider mites? I have not enjoyed the challenge of any kind of bugs in my grow room.
Not from any effort on my part. I live at altitude(6700ft) and we have plagues of mosquitoes,Caddis hatches that you have to wear a mask to go out at dusk, mayflies, aphids that get on the plumb tree but don't mess with the tomatoes. My thinking is that if I kept the right plant in my room as a repellent I could remain blissfully ignorant of the spider mite peril. Also I have heard that if you have co2 you can raise ppms to about 5000 and kill all fauna in the room. I'm not using co2 now but I probably will in the future. I wish the mods would move the idiot's (and you know who you are) postings to a different thread. People trying to share information shouldn't have to endure all that bullshit

I use co2 and it's true you can kill all adult bugs in your grow room by blasting your cow@ 5000 PPM. However this does not kill larvae inside the medium lefts by such pests as fungus gnats and aphids. If you are gardening outside you should really look into predatory nematodes. I mix them in with whatever soil is going to be used outside they will burrow down in the soil and feed on any larvae in your soil.

One more thought. Pyrethrum. Most of us know of it as 'bombs' but it's actually a plant, related to the daisy and chrysanthemum. Not only does the plant itself repel RSMs but the flowers and seeds can be dried and made into a spray.

My local grocer gives me the produce that is about to be tossed to feed my chickens. Today there was about 30 little orange habeneros in the boxes of stuff. Chickens don't care for hot. I put the peppers in the food processor and ended up with about 2 C worth (.5L) I put it in a crock pot and out to the garage with it. Folks I mean to tell you I don't care who or what species you are, I knew after chopping in the processor that this stuff will fuck you up. I love it. I'm going to find someone with mites to try it. If I can't , I'll take my spray bottle down when I protest in case any LEOS get too frisky near me. I am old and fragile. Need to find some mites NOW!

Hi!

Thank you for your inquest.

The pepper spray works well on aphides and other small clinging bugs, both inside and outside.
Any living insect one sprays caliclean on withers and usually dies.

Oils of rosemay, cloves, and peppermint are also good preventitives and controls for mites. Pyrethrum is a good natural oil as well, if one can find it locally.

Sure, if theer is no oxygen for respiration, by displacing the atmosphere with CO2, it would work on all respirating organims...but that includes humans and pets and is expensive (unless one lives next to a welding supply comany.) ;)

Best of luck!

May peace be with you always,

Yeah, what about seranos and/or jalapenos?

I don't think habaneros are available locally. Haha, can I order a lb of habaneros online?

I found this that is available from any chemist ,

Pyrethrum (Pyrethrin)
Pyrethrin insecticide, pyrethrin spray, pyrethrin fogging products, pyrethrin foggers.

Enviornment-Safe Pyrethrum

Pyrethrum is a completely organic, environment-safe insecticide derived from 100% African Chrysanthemum flowers. Pyrethrum powder is toxic to ants, roaches, silverfish, bed bugs, fleas, wasps, spiders, crickets, mosquitoes, and just about every other category of unwanted house or garden pest. Because it decomposes rapidly in the environment, pyrethrum has been approved for a wide range of indoor and outdoor uses, including homes, restaurants, broad-scale spraying operations, and organic farms.


In addition to being environment friendly, pyrethrum also has the following unique properties:

Quick Action - Pyrethrum poisons insects upon contact, attacking the central nervous system and resulting in faster knockdown and kill.
Low Toxicity - Pyrethrum is one of the least toxic insecticides available, boasting a long history of proven safety towards humans and animals.
Repellent - When not present in fatal amounts, pyrethrum acts as a repellent to protect food establishments, grain storage, and crops from insect pests.
Flushing Agent- Pyrethrum agitates insects in their hiding places, flushing them out and forcing them to be exposed to the insecticide.
Multi-purpose - Pyrethrum consists of a group of compounds rather than a single compound, resulting in a wider scope of activity against pests than other insecticides. It can be used against almost any pest in the house or garden.
No Insect Immunity - Insect resistance is not a problem because of the complexity of the molecule that pyrethrum is composed of.
