My spider mite control secret ingredient

Hey growers,

Most of us have encountered these little bastards from time to time in our gardens, here is how I keep control of these bugs.

I mix (1.5 oz. per gal.) of Einstein oil (neem oil) in water,

Now here's my secret... 5 ml per gal of " Four Paws, Magic Coat Flea and Tick Shampoo" for dogs and cats, instead of dish soap as your wetting agent. It is available at most grocery stores in the pet section, and is less than $5 a bottle.

This shampoo works not only as a wetting agent, but a pesticide.

This soap has organic pyrethrins which kill the adults and helps break up the life cycle of the mite.

I don't recommend using it in the last 3 weeks of flowering, mostly in veg and early flower.
give it a try..

Here it is..

thanks for the tip! Is einstein oil similar to neem oil? I use 50/50 91% rubbing alcohol and water, you can use it up to a day before harvest.
