Spider Mites

[old-hobo]

can I use the alcohol solution( 50/50) to treat the soil for mites. solution is 70% alcohol and water.

[herb green]

Ive heard to make that as cold as possible

 

...so throw some ice cubes in there

 

shaken but not stirred

 

...youre going to need more than James Bond

 

You may need a priest...better make that cocktail with holy water

 

mizer man was on here with the solution...just spray in veg once old enough with safersoap up and down under everyleaf with a pressure sprayer 1 gal. pressure spayers can be had at lowes they cost like 15 bucks (small hand held things not one that cleans your deck!)....do this every 3 - 5 days BEFORE mites show up....preventative!

 

Once they arrive

 

hotshot pest strips ...most likely any hardware store
