those critters never go away, there are actually ones that can survive outside in the winter so they will find their way in all year round. use preventatives and if you have an infestation take em out with azatrol avid azamax or somethin, some of those take 2-3 weeks to build up in plants so plan your treatment out. a bomb is a quick fix to kill adults but not the eggs.
If u can try to stay away from toxic and hazardous (to humans)pesticides like Avid. It works, but read what the manufacturer suggest u wear while applying it to ur plants. Mites are one of our worst enemies. I don't know if they can survive that long with out food. However, they may be living on other house plants around the house, hitch hiking in on clothing and pets (from infestations outdoors). U may want to look into Hot Shot (brand) No Pest Strips. U supposed to hang one of these in an area not to be occupied by people for more than 4 hours. any how check it out, i've read many good thing about this product. In fact It claims to kill all insects within range.
I've been using the mite-rid for well over 5 years now with great success. it never takes more than one treatment. mites need food to survive and I don't think they live in soil. They may fall into soil and get transplanted that way but they need foliage to survive as they live by sucking sap from leaves.McBudz often endorses a product called Mite-Rid (if I remember correctly), he swears by it. PM him and ask when u get a chance. As for the no pest strips, I'd only use in veg, I too am skeptical about ingesting toxins absorbed by my plants. There are many different ways to fight mites. Use the search feature keyword spider mites. I think 1/4 of the new growers questions are related to pests (namely mites). We also have a sub forum in the FAQ forum called Pest and Disease Control. I think this would be an excellent place to start. Read thru the threads and u'll find plenty of info. That's I can promise. Good luck.
I meant Racefan, not McBudz. My bad Racefan. I knew it was some1 on grow support.McBudz often endorses a product called Mite-Rid (if I remember correctly), he swears by it.
im using the no pest strip an aza max yet there sell here. i dont know what to do if i stop everthing for a mounth or so will thay go away an not come back?
