Lady bugs are voracious eaters and will wipe out spider mites or you can use the following.

Hot Pepper Wax, Safer Yard & Garden Insecticide (which can be used right to the day of harvest), GNATROL( used in hydro in the water as well as soil), Doc's Neem Pest Soap, Safer Sticky Stakes, TR-11000 Pyrethrum. Anything that says dicofol on the back. ( should be used in vegging or early flowering)

For what it is worth.. I have had great success eradicating mites completely (once in full flower, once in pre flower, and once on a clone I brought home and my most recent harvest came down with them and I have no clue where they came from, total indoor, 2000 miles from my last grow and well .. mites still happen) by spraying the whole plant with tap water until every inch is drenched... I mean drenched.. the top soil too.. but that is a given because she will be dripping like crazy.. get up under the leaves most.. spray spray spray.. drench it .. did I mention drench.. then shake off of buds (hit with a hair dryer from a distance real quick if you have humidity issues)


Then pull it out the next day, and do it all over again. And I do it every day for a week.

It stops the mite damage IMMEDIATELY and I guess it just drowns em.. then if any hatch within the week they are drowned before they reproduce.

Of course you could spray your room down real quick while they are out if you like.. clean her up..

Anyways.. for me.. it was free, it worked each time.. it was a pain in the arse, but compared to the neem and other less invasive methods I have tried over the years, the water drench has worked every time for me.
