Doktor Doom all natural fogger...Lmao

If its an empty room, go for nasty stuff at homedepot or lowes. If the fog will actually contact plants, go with something natural. These foggers have natural pyrethrum from Chrysanthemum flowers. Works in 15 seconds!

Pyrethrins only kill the adults, not necessarily the juveniles and the eggs. You need a miticide; I have used avid for adults and hexagon for juvies and eggs. No mites for over a year. ASSLOADS left. If I had to buy again, I would order Floramite from a rose supplier as it has both in one. Also - these are not something I would spray in bloom, but the avid is at least more organic than permethrin - the chemical alternative to pyrethrin. The problem with most chemical foggers with permethrin is that they use piperinol butoxide - a known cancer causing agent - to make them more effective.
I also use neem oil to help the miticide stick to the leaves and use a micronized fogging machine to spray it on the plants.
Good luck eradicating the borg.

If plants are present this is worth a try
Garlic Oil Sprays:
Organic gardeners have long been familiar with the repellent or toxic affect of garlic oil on pests. when it is combined with mineral oil and pure soap,as it is in the recipe that follows, devised at the Henry Doubleday Research Association in England, it becomes an effective insecticide. Some studies also suggest that a garlic oil spray has fungicidal properties.
Good results, with quick kill, have been noted against aphids, cabbage loopers, earwigs, June bugs, leafhoppers, sqaush bugs and whiteflies. The spray does not appear to harm adult lady beetles, and some gardeners have found that is does'nt work against the Colorado potaoe beetles, grape leaf skeletonizers, grasshoppers, red ants, or sowbugs.
Soak 3 ounces of finely minced garlic cloves in 2 teaspoons of mineral oil for at least 24 hours. Slowly add 1 pint of water that has 1/4 ounce liquid soap or commercial insecticide soap mixed into it. Stir thoroughly and strain into a glass jar for storage. use at a rate of 1 to 2 Tablespoons of mixture to a pint of water. If this is effective, try a more dilute solution in order to use as little as possible.
Spray plants carefully to ensure thorough coverage. To check for possible leaf damage to sensitive ornamentals from the oil and soap in the spray, do a test spray on a few leaves or plants first. If no leaf damage occurs in 2 or 3 days, go ahead and spray more.

ok, this is a small cab, they are young mamas in dirt. i've had 3 NPS in there for a while, had them in flower, and previous mamas were bad, so i got rid of everything and started new mamas. they should be dead by now, i would think, but i would like to bomb the room while there is nothing going on but young mamas. i just figured a flee bomb from vet OR just a bug bomb from store.....temp are running 60-70'F. exhaust off.

I have always had a problem with mites. I tried everything to get rid of them. EVERYTHING.
I finally decided to use a NO-PEST strip. I have heard both sides of the story, half of you swear by them, half of you would not touch them with a twenty foot clown poll.
so, being that I grow organic I just put one in the room with them. not in either of the grow boxes, just in the room they are in. I removed it two days later. that was two months ago. I have not seen a mite since.
hope this helps...
peace

the dr doom foggers. attain foggers and anything prythum or what ever it is. work the best and the no-pest strips you ahve a winner. but you ahve to keep a strick regiment as they lay their eggs to perpetually hatch. think about it. if you hit the mites every 3-4 days for a solid 2 weeks theya re screwed. trust me i ahve had my far share of infestations. sometimes you ahve to just battle them .

If you havent already bought a no pest strip, go do it. I only left my in my growbox for about 24 hours, when i wasnt home, and havent seen a mite since.
You can just pop em back in a plastic bag afterward and save it for another gassing.
They developed the stuff durring WWII as a nerve toxin, Sarin Gas. If it worked on those bastards then, you can bet it'll work those little bugggers now.

doktor doom is what i'm looking for, and the shop carries it. now, how to use these things safely. i just want to do that one room really, would it be allright to shut door, and seal, after bombing without the shit getting all over the house? i have 2 cats, and a hectic work schedule...
