I noticed a few on one of my plants and was looking for some liquid soap to spray...came across Hartz flea and tick shampoo in my closet the label lists Pyrethrum as an ingredient!...i mixed up a 1 teaspoon per quart mixture in a spray bottle (very weak)...an sprayed away!...I'll keep everone posted on the results.

diazonon or somehting similar is great for killing or holding off mites
thats the active ingrediant
id be getting a few different remedies
as the mites build a tolerance,similar to us and antibiotics i spose
i use natra soap,eco oil,pyrethum, and a garlic and pepper spray
rotating to gewt ontop wen the mites are in town
i also have a stocking on me inlet
to hopefully stop the entry of more
but u really want to break the breeding pattern imho
that means spraying every 12 hrs for a few days
all the best

did it work for the spider mites?
did it affect the plant at all?

personally i was gonna use the powder... i figure at least that way i can just leave it there and then wash it off once i think the infestations stopped... i was gonna try thisd but a mates got some shit he swears by hes gonna give me... its just one of the usual brands i think
