I’ve got spider mites AGAIN. I don’t know what to do. I‘ve put out 10 packs of predatory mites weeks ago,sprayed it with spruzit, they came back, i sprayed them again today and ordered new predatory mites that I put out when they arrive. Does ultrasonic help? Plant is bloomweek 2

ultrasonic does not work. its like hearing construction noise. its annoying but won't kill or get rid of them. You'd need a lot of predatory mites to kill or wipe out a spider mite infestation. It can be done, but they take time and when they are done they will venture out of the tent in search for food as everything will be gone. The webs still remain as well as the bodies of all the dead. Mites will burrow into the soil to avoid some things as well and pop back up later. The eggs can sometimes fall into the soil as well. Best to use Permethrins and nuke the buggers. then clean the shit out of everything in the tent. get it nice and hot so all the eggs will hatch and then die from starvation after the plants are done and harvested. Look into bud washing. Good Luck!

Predator mites won't eliminate the harmful mites, they will just control them. They create a balance as they do in nature. Try lady bugs they'll kill everything. But be prepared for them to be flying around your house lol

Les ultrasons ne fonctionneront pas je ne sais même pas si ils peuvent les entendre. Je te conseillerais une recette simple huile de neem, savon noir type savon de marseille si tu es à la deuxième semaine ça ne posera pas de problème. Un traitement par semaine jusqu'à la 4 ème semaine te permettrait de les éliminer. Si jamais tu vois qu'il y en a à la fin tu pourras toujours laver tes plantes au moment de la récolte. Il me semble mais peut être que je me trompe, les araignées apparaissent quand l air est trop sec.

I've got a couple of thrips infestations since I started growing and one of them completly destroyed one cultivation cycle. I tried several methods (neem oil and different kind of pesticide) but th ONLY ONE that really worked was the SPINOSAD ! Therefore make an effort to keep always your environement clean and well ventilated.

HI buddy erm I would look into lady birds buddy as they can live upto 2 years if you create a little home for them with some food they will soon sort it out im sure :) im not sure about ultrasonic i know you can get products like hydoguard that are suppose to kill them off. neam oil is always an option. i would not advise pestasides for obvious reasons :)
