We go through this EVERY year!

17 years ago

Every year we have BUGS & CRITTERS we have to deal with while the Brugs & Brug cuttings are tucked away!!

Thought this might be an informative thread!

Alot of people use different things for different pests!

Spider mites come to mind! I hate the little critters! lol!

I use Bayer 2 in 1! I've also used Neem oil! Some people use Murphy's Oil! Some use Forbid - but wow, very expensive! I've even used Dawn dishwashing liquid! :)

What do you use??

And if it's something that will REALLY take care of the spider mites - what's the ratio? One tablespoon per gallon?? How often do you use it? Etc, etc!

Let's hear some GOOD thoughts & ideas!

For broad mites, the only thing that I can get rid of them with is Forbid or Avid.
For regular mites...I have had good results with floramite.
There are these one kind of mites...rather large from mites (I can see them moving) that I have a terriblr e time getting rid of. The only thing that gets rid of them for me is mixing up a mixture of one part alcohol to one part water in a apray bottle wit some oil soap. I think it dries/suffocates them.

Found one today with the new growth dark green and shriveled so looks like I will have to do some experimenting and let you know. Dang. First time all year.
