spinosad won't do *@#$ to mites.

Do you want to annoy the mites or kill them?

go to ebay and search for floramite by joe chronic, trial sizes cost like 20 bucks.

Spinosad is best use for thrips. Floramite is for ornamentals, so inform yourself what your using. I personally would use it on vegging plants. It's made from some sort of fermentation process and knocks mites on their DEAD asses.

Apparently it's been approved for some food crops but I am not 100% on the subject.

Thrips damage looks like silver-ish little trails on your plant leaves.

Mites leave hundreds and eventually kabillions of tiny dots. Both are bad, both can pass plant diseases and both should die.

You should be able to see both if you look VERY VERY closely. Thrips look like mini lobsters to me and mites are more round bodied.

Smokey, just chill. Don't get all defensive. Lot of members on the forum are getting tired of an influx of new members posting the same shit everyday and many of the old head get tired of the kids these days.

spinosad won't do *@#$ to mites. : this is 1/2 wrong.

Abstract

Laboratory bioassays were conducted to characterize the activity of the insecticide spinosad against the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, and European red mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch) (Acari: Tetranychidae). T. urticae females and larvae were individually placed on bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. (Fabaceae), leaf disks treated with four rates of spinosad (25, 55, 121, and 266 ppm) and a water control. Significantly fewer T. urticae completed development on any spinosad rates (<15%) compared with the control (>85%), whereas spinosad exhibited no significant effects on P. ulmi development; 72.5 and 83.1% of P. ulmi completed development on apple (Malus pumila P. Mill, Rosaceae) leaf disks treated with 75 ppm spinosad and the control, respectively. T. urticae adult females placed on spinosad-treated disks had significantly higher mortality and lower oviposition rates compared with the water control; no significant mortality effects were observed until 3 d after placing adults on leaf disks. In choice tests where half of a bean leaf was treated with 55 ppm spinosad transversally or longitudinally, T. urticae females were repelled by spinosad and largely oviposited and fed on nonspinosad treated areas. Spinosad did not affect the behavior of P. ulmi females. When T. urticae females were released on potted bean plants (two-leaf stage) in which leaves received spinosad sprays on the adaxial or abaxial leaf surfaces, or complete spinosad coverage on one or two of the leaves, mite population increase lagged significantly behind those released on control plants. These results indicate that spinosad has significant acaricidal effects against T. urticae but not P. ulmi.

fuk u ass hole need help way and f**k hate ars*holes like u all i want is help

Learn how to search for threads. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out.

You've been given two suggestions: Monteray spray and Flouromite. Now go get one, spray them and be happy.

Or continue to grow an infested crop.

3dDream, I've personally used spinosad in a futile attempt to eliminate a mite problem before I had in hand floramite. In my humble opinion, spinosad didn't make a any difference to me visually.

Honestly, I noticed more of a difference using dish soap, water and a mixture of a garlic/cayanne pepper against mites.
