Spider mites.. I used this to kill em....and it works!!!!

HEY ALL!!!!! I just wanted to say i had spider mites who killed 1 of my outdoor plants, i managed to save one outdoor but barely (we gutted the inside) ... and had mites on our indoor plants...
i will tell you these 2 products have saved my plants.........
we are 14 approx days in and no sign of any mites, eggs (no new hatches) or bugs at all..... i will tell u what we used, what it is called (maybe you can find a better price somewhere)...and i will post whats in it so you can make a informed decision while looking for something to kill those critters!!!!!!


First Doktor Doom Fogger total release (i found on ebay) this is what the product info says:
The biggest benefit to using the Total Release Fogger is that they are made with natural pyrethrum which biologically breaks down in a couple of hours thus providing very fast re-entry times to fumigated areas. They really do not have a strong odor- which also provides the homeowner with a peace of mind as there are no long lasting obnoxious odors lingering in the air; if used in conjunction with Doktor Doom Residual Products will provide the Homeowner with a bug free environment. Use the fumigants first to flush out and eradicate the insects and then follow up with the Residuals to prevent further enter of pests into your home or gardening environment


Okay second i used BTL FLORAMITE SC (found on ebay) Product info says:

Floramite SC® is a selective miticide that provides outstanding control of a variety of mite pests on greenhouse, shadehouse, nursery, field, landscape and interiorscape grown ornamentals. Floramite provides quick knockdown through contact activity and long lasting residual control of more than 21 days. Because of its unique mode of action and selective nature, Floramite is easy on predacious mites and beneficial insects, making it ideal for resistance management programs. Floramite® controls Two-spotted mite, Pacific mites, Strawberry mites, European Mites, Cyclamen Mites, Citrus Red mites, Southern red mites and Spruce spider mites
.
Now this fantastic miticide/ovicide is available in a soluble concentrate. FloramiteSC® is a selective miticide that provides outstanding control of mite pests on ornamental plants. FloramiteSC produces quick knockdown through contact activity and long residual control of more than 21 days. It is effective on a variety of species of mites and all life stages of Tetranychidus spider mites. (Yes, this means it kills the eggs!) And because of its novel mode of action and selective nature, Floramite is easy on predacious mites and beneficial insects. Usage is 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. Finally a great alternative to Avid and with the added benefit of an ovicide in one package Miticide for control of 8 species of mites (including eggs for spider mites only), for up to 28 days. Labeled for greenhouses, interiorscapes, landscapes, nurseries and more.. Excellent plant safety. Foliar Spray Rates:1/4 to 1/2 teas per gallon,
*Application rates and usage recommendations are suggestions only. Please read the Label and MSDS Sheet for specific rates, application, protective equipment, etc.



Okay so i believe in passing on any helpful info i get...to make us better growers...so good luck those with the lil buggers....we feel your pain and hope you all use those items to keep those plants alive!!! CHEERS!!!!

how much did that run you?
and howd you find those two out of hundreds on ebay (like, what made you choose them, did you hear about it from someone else?)
 
Its hard to find a good product without ordering off the internet so I wanted to share with everyone what I use. Garden Safe Fungicide 3 by Shultz. It works great for mites, easy to find, and smells great to (i hate the smell of organicide...fishy) It uses neem oil extract as its active ingredient Also comes in a concentrate form so you can make a lot of it for multiple applications. Because we all know 1 lil spray bottle is never enough to clear up an infection of anything

I have tried A LOT of soaps and so called natural insecticide products even ones with neem oil and nothing seems to work and sometimes it even effects the taste. Even tried hot shots strips...that slowed them down for a couple days but then a few weeks later mites chillen right next to the strip WTF!! But the fungicide3 formula worked (had to make multiple applications but thats not uncommon) It will also work up to the day of harvest of our special plants with no adverse effects. Although I try not to spray 1 week before harvest and mist with water a couple days during that week but thats just me.

Got mine at walmart

i tell everyone who grows indoors get one of those 10-15$ electronic pest repellers, i had mites on one grow and it killed off most of them and i havent had them since
 
hey all!!! i wanted to give you a lil insight on why these were chosen, after all you are all correct... there are hundreds that say they work....
but this is what i chose it works and again i havent seen a bugger on my plants since use....
The reason i decided to go with this product is after weeks of researching not only on ebay, amazon, websites with "mite controllers" checked all the oils, asked on here, asked on other forums and they all have the same answer....I NEED "natural pyrethrum"
This is the "key" active ingredient.... period no questions...you need to have this in the product to work...the fogger (doktor doom) and floramite both have it....i choose something that "breaks down quickly" also something that has "residual effects" making the plant less appealing to the mites and other pesty bugs.......PLEASE NOTE FLORAMITE IS EASY ON THE "GOOD" BUGS SO DONT WORRY...(another plus for my outdoor).......also my MAJOR concern is you can NEVER get all the mites if you cannot KILL the eggs....you can slow em down, you can kill the bugs...but they come back becuz they are constantly laying more eggs...so this is where the FLORAMITE comes in... AND I HAD TONS OF EGGS ON MY PLANTS... not 1 hatched yet...this is week 2....not 1 mite moving, no issues at all... becuz the FLORAMITE DID IT FOR ME.....

So i chose this product becuz 1# "
natural pyrethrum" 2# the residual effects, #3 it kills eggs!!!! 4# it was cheap (the best part), #5 the reviews from different sites on the same 2 products......

okay as for the price...i live in SACRAMENTO CA... so im not sure how shipping would be for you....but i spent... Doktor Doom Total Release Fogger was $11.95 "buy it now" $5.99 was the shipping for me.... came in 2 days from order
Floramite was $10.55 "buy it now" and shipping was free....came in about 3 days from order...

okay so just FYI...again the results were just as i wanted, and expected.......i made 1 gallon of FLORAMITE .... and still have tons more to use IF I EVER NEED TO.....>>>> but i just dont think i will NEED TO...

SO CHEERS!!!
