![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Copied and pasted from CC Releasing a full container of carbon dioxide into a sealed grow set-up will kill all mites and insects. But, don't be in the room while the CO2 is being released! It would be enough to KILL YOU! I have seen this technique of bringing the CO2 to 10,000 ppm for 15 minutes to kill all pests. You must vent out the CO2 before entering the room. Two applications, five days apart, will kill all mites, pests and their offspring.

I guess if you were to use c02 every 5 days PERMANENTLY it could be used as control. c02 will NOT kill the mite's eggs. | |||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I just used the Pyrethrum TR fogger for the nasty little buggers. It's supposed to treat 3000 sq ft - I used it in 150. Inspected the next day to find most of them dead. There are still a few tough f'ers crawling around though. I was hesitant to use even a so called "natural" pesticide but I really wanted them ALL dead NOW. At 27 bucks a can I completely expected those results! I think I can do as good if not better using my trusty soapy water and rinse. Live and learn. <sigh>

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Good afternoon, an Update: So, it's been nine (9) days since spraying that "Pyola" and haven't seen a think moving thats not suppse to be moving (IE leaves in front of the fan) in the three area's of my grow op.. Absolutely "No" spider mites have been seen on any of my growing or flowering Ladies. ![]() I pray every morning going into my one room op that i'm not going to see anything and have been very happy for these past nine days of not seeing anything. No more rinsing my girls in the shower, no more stressing me and the clones and not growing.. All i've seen has been new growth, soon i'll be dropping the shelf in the primary grow area for more height, something I haven't seen this past year due to the mites. I truely believe I have won my battle as have my medi friend who gave me the sample of Pyola Good luck and know there is light at the end of the tunnel don | ||
