My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

DE for Spider Mites???

14 years ago

Was wondering if anyone here has tried using diatomaceous earth in spray form for the demon spider mite. Southern California heat makes most forms of organic control impossibe. Spinosad was a hopeful, but has not been helpful against them. Still looking for something that works!!
