I have a outdoor garden, all in the ground in rows.
Spidermites moved in last month. been fighting them bastards with several things. Spinisad, AzaMax and now trying to keep them at bay with 50% rubbing alcohol mixed half water. I spray the plants with an Atomizer spray gun. useing high pressure I shoot a fog into the plant starting at the bottom working aroung the plant and up to the top.
It doesnt saturate, it only stays on the plant for a minute and evaporates. I have reduced to population substantialy but it is still a problem. I can find crawlers on every plant.
I cant find any web but hella eggs. I used AzaMax as a soil drench 1 week ago but have not noticed any change.
Any ideas ?

Stimothy,

Use a product called Forbid..... AS long as you are not too far into flower you can hit them with this shit. I use a fogger as well... It is 1 tsp per gallon of water... Hit the little bastards with it.. then a few days later hit it again.. they will be gone.... I sat in one room and noticed little single threads of web coming off of the leaves... The little bastards were trying to jump ship and died about 2 inches down their rope! You can also hit them with a regiment of Avid, Forbid, Floramite and Maverick

You may cause more damage treating for mites than the mites would do alone. How far in flower are you? I just pick off infested leafs. They tend to stay on a leaf until it is exhausted. This should keep em in control till you harvest. They should be at the bottom of the plant. How bad is it?
