Spider mites

So it turns out the Thrips were not Thrips at all they are bloody spider mites. Noticed them feeding on nematodes after spraying. Predator mites on there way and sprayed with an 1-8 iso mix. Now should i rinse the plant with just water before adding the predators?

Same as stcky traps should be away with natural predators, till end of infestation, same thing with alcohol, you apply one , then bugs. They all are sensitive to quick moist lost ...

I dont know what you buy, but most nematodes are combination of worms and created to fight many species at same time. If you are so smart, what for to ask even ????? Nematodes will kill eggs, not mites itself. For this you need either other predators or loads of care and alcohol wiping.

Only the right nematodes will do this I used nematodes for thrips and fungus gnats. The spider mights just started eating them not even hiding it, crawling all over the top side of the leaves feasting. This is why I have predator mites coming. The question was should i clean the alcohol mist off i applied today before introducing the mites

One of the best remedies for spider mites is the addition of beneficial nematodes to your soil. The nematodes will feast on the spider mites and the problem is solved. smoke less, panic less, sort more ;)
