I have just about everything for spider mites, the only thing that worked for me the AVID. Since I have used AVID I haven't seen a spider mite in my garden in years.

I hear floromite is as good for mites as Avid but not as harmful to you or any pets you may have. Stuff is very expensive like Avid but does the trick as i hear. Good luck with those pesty buggers mate.

Never tried that stuff, but I have tried several other remedies for mites...and only Avid has been 100% effective and not damaged the plants in the process.

You'll find alot of claims out there that are just pure marketing BS...so don't believe the hype until you've tried it or had an unbiased testimonial from someone who has.

Sadly, the only thing that I have ever used that has had 100% effectivness is AVID in conjunction with Stirrup-M. The second is a faramone which causes the mites to feed on the leaves which are covered in avid (So you only have to spray on the tops of leaves, not under where the mites live). One bite and they are paralized, and die of starvation. The scary part about avid (other than the health risks) is that every insect in my grow room died, gnats, mites, all dead. I brought some new plants in the room the next year and in the heat of summer (90+ temp) I had a reappearance of mites, again, avid did the trick. To clarify, I had used everything before. BANG!, Einstein oil, Home remedies with different peppers used etc, the mites were to the point of completely incasing the buds in the room in web, stopping growth. The next time I went in after using AVID, I could look at the webs and see no mite movement whatsoever. I have used avid only twice in 2 years, my only regret is that I could not find a more organic friendly solution to mites, but it is worth it to never have to worry about them again.
