spider mites

[littleT]

i noticed on one of my plants i have a few spider mites--no web yet--i read half and half alchol and water will kill them and not hurt plant--anyone here of that.also on 2 of my young plants i have tiny white spots on leaves--i read its where mites have fed on bottom of plant leaf.how and what do i need to do?

Are they inside or outside?

Did you end up grabbing some strips littleT? If the white spots are on the underside of the leaves thats most likely the nests (tis why I suggested first squeezing em)

ive been battling them inside for the last few weeks... got 'em from some cuttings I took in. I've been bombing with pyrethrins and spraying with SNS209. I only really started the "battle" strongly about 3 days ago, so we'll see.

Have you tried Hot shot pest strips yet MM?

Yay name brands and types are being dropped now, so I can step back

No, I haven't used those strips. I got 3 pyrethrin bombs, set one off 2 days ago, sprayed yesterday with SNS209, nothing today, bomb tomorrow, SNS209 the day after, rest and repeat one more time and pray.

If that don't end up working put a no pest strip in there and they will be gone in 48 hours every time. I use them religiously and I've never had any problems with them.
