Spider Mites ... which solution ?

[max21]

Hi all,

I've been through the anti-spider-mite link given by Moon Doggie, but I need
further infos.

A friend of mine, who's a bit messy and lacks attention, has been invaded by
spidermites.
His floodtable nursery feeds 20 young plants. One plant was clearly attacked
and was cut.
But 2-3 nearby plants are infected, and I know he's gonna have difficulties
to save his crop.

It's very hot in the bathroom he's using to grow, and dry, so I understand
spideys are quite happy, there.

I told him about "bio" insecticides that we find in our country : Pyrethre
and Rotenone.
Do you think they can kill those horrors ?
I've also heard of soap recipes, or tobacco (not sure it'll work for
spidermites) recipes. Do you know of any dosage ?

Thanks

Max

My 2 cents worth:
If its just 2 or 3 plants he can remove them and place the plants in a
"dip". But its rare that just a few plants would be affected. I be ther all
over but just in the translucent juvenile stage still. Take a 40gal. garbage
can, fill with warm h2o, put in a cup of bleach, take 1/2 a bar of ivory
soap and grate it up in the water with a cheese grater. stir until the soap
is dissolved. dip the plants in up-side down, rinse and repeat. it will take
2 or 3 days of doing this before they are all gone. If there is a big
infestation, you can buy some lady bugs and let them loose. But they got
out'a my grow room and were every wher in the house. (the lady bugs) totally
gross'd out my x.

good luck

Go to Worm's Way at:

http://www.wormsway.com/catalog.asp?cat=pesti

and look about halfway down the page for a product called Bang!
(product code BAN705). You can probably buy it elsewhere as well.

Keep on truckin'

so, make them unhappy, just to start. Humidify the hell out of it, and
ventillate.

I've had tremendous luck with Safer's... you need something that will
address your problem directly, like pyrethrins or Safer. There isn't
too much time to screw around when spidermites hit. If possible,
physically dip each plant into a bucket of the solution, short of
that, make sure each plant is literally soaked, dripping with the
insecticide that's chosen... and spray the growth medium.

Good luck

Thank you, Moon doggie,

But, you know, my friend has tried to save much money while building his
grow space, and I don't think he'll invest in a 19.95$ insect inhibitor.
Thanks anyway.
