Go to ur local shop and see if they do a little bottle of plant vitality.looks like coffe milkshake I used it and it worked Canadian express did somthing called spray safe but took a while to erradicate them.I'm sure if ur drop the heat then it slows down there reproduction and u can deal with them.good luck.

agree with vince. Plant vitality from bac organics , works and no negative residue on buds.

A few mates of mine use tobacco as a natural way of killing the mites , have never tried it myself but they swear by it, not sure of the amounts but they boil some cigarettes in hot water and use it as a spray maybe someone else on here knows abit more about using tobacco, good luck what ever you do i hate the borg have just chopped my grow a week early because of the little shits.

will have to look into the baccy spray newstrain, I am getting total para after finding 2 twospot spider mites on on of the plants in me veg room... nothing on the others whatsoever, and none in the flower room... have read that "rubbing alcohol" mixed with water at a ratio of 1/1 will kill mites and eggs on contact and not harm the plants, will find out if i have any males out of 4 seeds I started 7 weeks or so ago and give them a blast to see if its harmful to canna or not, apparently the alcohol evaporates too fast to do any damage, but still, best to test first, unless someone has done this?
westlands bug attack is an option but too many issues about creating super species etc, neem oil.. is said to work, but what about using it as a spray when one is using essence? will neem kill the benficials?
the stuff for pigeons (soz forgot name) seems the best bet, and banking on the local pet shop or vet selling it.
I know I have only found 2 but... they is borg.

I been fighting these fuckers for the last 6 months & come to the conclusion the 1s i got are super-resiliant to sprays. there imposible to shift with live plants on the go. thought I'd finally beaten them by shutting down my grow & sterilising everything, set back up on saturday & noticed this morning there back arhhhhhhh.
btw i seem to remember last time i looked into it theres a good reason not to use tobacco based sprays - cant remember exactly why.. something to do with a parasite/mold lives on tobacco.. do some research before trying it.
I had spidermites before a few years ago & killed them all 1st time with something called 'wilder hot pepper wax', cant find it now guess the company closed down.

I suggest neem oil, just dilute it 5ml to 1l of water with 2ml of soapy water to break the surface tension, then spray liberally, repeat every week or so.
Its completely natural, completely safe and kills the fuck out of the little buggers.
Only problem is that neem smells like a goddamn landfill if you get the indian stuff.
The neem oil actually clogs up their little breating holes, suffocating the fuckers
makes a great headlice killer too
thats got to be at least a little bit DIY
