Tobacco Spray for Spider mites

Ok... so i added like a teaspoon of garlic juice, a couple drops of habanero sauce, and the tobacco contents of a cigar, as a homemade spray for spidermites. I'm gonna soak it over night, and then boil it for a couple minutes tomorrow morning before i put it in the spray bottle. My question is for people who have used a similar spray- how effective will this spray be, and how will the spray effect the taste/ smell of my nugs?

thanx for the help,

i dont think the nicotine content of cigar tobacco is high enough to kill those bugs. i used two cigs soaked for two nights and it wasnt a very effective pesticide.

we sell tobacco dust at our nursery, head down to ur local shop an ask em how theyd mix it. jus tell em spidermites, shouldnt ask too many questions

ok... so i just went ahead and used my spray anyways... went back an hour later and only saw like one living spider mite, so i think the spray will work... i will continue to spray for the next couple of days and see how things go.

I used about 1/2 pound of habaneros, 6 cloves of garlic and blended it with 2 cups of water until it was a fine puree. Then I boiled 1/2 gallon of water with a cinnamon stick and 1 teaspoon of clove powder. I strained it and poured the liquid in a spray bottle and let em' have it. Don't know if it was 100% effective, but will post later. Also, make sure after 1 hour to spray and clean the leaves with plain water to remove small habanero and bug pieces.

Spray was 100% effective. No more spider mites. woo-hoo. Must spray 1 week later just in case of eggs hatched, just to make sure you get them all. Good Luck
