Fighting spider mites in late flower

I still have about 3 weeks until I can harvest my blackberry kush. I went out to tend them today, and found several covered with spider mites. I haven't treated it with anything for a week, for fear of damaging the buds with chem, foul tastes, etc. So I hit upon a desparate solution. I'm not sure if it will work but maybe somebody can steer me straight.

I covered one of my bushes with 3 mil plastic. Inside the 'tent' I placed 4 hotshot strips. I know they work well indoors, not too sure about outdoors yet. I plan on leaving it covered for a couple of hours, then I will check again.

my brother has been spraying neem all year.....he got worms like crazy and a mite outbreak from hell. neem oil is a preventative at best, and you better not count on it.

Just didn't realize something called Kill Spider Mites would do just that..not only kill the mites...but the eggs too.

No Spider Mites - www.nospidermites.com/
Ingredients are ..
Rosemary Oil
Cottonseed Oil
Citric acid
Water
Geranium Oil
Citronella Oil
And thats it...Not only does it kill them on contact it also kills the eggs and larva...


use Liquid Lady bug its non toxic and evoporats in 60 seconds it works good!!!

Mite Rid

Mighty Wash from NPK industries is supposedly great and safe

good luck - you can also wash them off for temp relief

thanks, I'll bop on down to the hydro store in the am and see if they have any of those. I sprayed neem oil all season, about once a week, and stopped about 2 weeks ago,. Like he said, "lesson learned"
Looks close to harvest, getting ansy
