Avid is very dangerous if use wrong, but works great. Use it right and all is well.

Mix at a rate of 1 ml to 1 ltr.

Buy a Tivek suit (disposable about 4$)at Home depot or where ever rubber gloves and goggles and a mask made for trapping spray. Mix and spray you don't need to drench them. Don't touch any wet plants with your skin, wash right away if you get contact.

Sounds scary but its not if you do it right.

Peace

You could use dr doom bombs also but you got to do it every 5 days and in a row to get them. Do open flames!! like furnace or co2 gen or candles.

i wouldnt use the shit in your house , just by some pyrethium spray its organic and comes from a plant , people say it wont kill mites but its toxic and will kill anything given the right dosage + u can smoke your shit 3 days after spraying its commonly used on vegies and stuff.

you can use a cinnamon-clove tea . You bring a gallon of water to a boil and remove from heat , add an ounce of ground cinnamon and an ounce of ground clove . Let the mixture cool then strain . This tea should get rid of your spider mites

i would treat the affected area with rubbing alcohol and distilled water. i was using a 50-50 mix, but had slightly burnt a few spots on leaves. i would suggest 25% rubbing alcohol 75% distilled water, put it in a spray bottle and spray the effected area. shade the area if possible or do it right before lights out, as i suspect the light may promote the damage of the leaf.
