Predatory Mites

[S_a_H]

I have been seeing some light action on a couple leafs but nothing like an invasion or anything.

When I clean out my room between harvests I spray the room only with Floramite and I also spray under and around my house with it from time to time.

But once I see some action I have been able to keep them at bay using Azamax but really want to get away from anything. So I ordered some Predatory mites from amazon. They come in a foam box with straw and an ice pack to keep them cool and alive.

If you are using Floramite and Azamax, I assume the damage you are seeing is from spider mites?

Yes it is and I would post up some pics but my camera died.

I ordered some of the predatory mites and after much BS from the company I finally got a refund and ordered from a different place and it came today.

It shipped out yesterday and was delivered overnight express it came in a 12x8x8 box with a Styrofoam box inside with a still hard ice pack with some foam under that with some straw under that and then the bottle of the mites with more straw and another piece of foam taped up good was very happy for the $37 spent. Using my trich scope I can see moving bugs after about 30 minutes of sitting out my lights are about to go off.

It says to place them on some lower leafs by misting and dumping some of the bottle contents on the area.

I am thinking that I may just make this a part of my new bloom regime like insurance.

Hopefully nothing and then die off but if I do have them and I am missing the signs hopefully this is going to help me in the long run.
