Hi,
Been growing for over 12 years and time to time those spider mites come back with a vengence! Now I have read SO MANY threads around the forums on this issue and I know that a lot of the US growers use 'No Pest Strips' to eradicate mites. I have used pure Neem Oil in the past and I'm trying currently SMC (spider mite control) ... but it does not control them!
My question to fellow uk growers is this:
Whats on the market here and readily available as a treatment for mites in veg and early flowering? What actually WORKS? I know about the cycle of mites and the timings of treatments etc but I wonder if any of you have personally been succesful with a commercial mite product?
I used to use those sticky fly strip things a few years ago to trap fungas gnats and I never had mites when using them BUT they are just sticky strips so it must have been coincidence!
Any input most welcome, and thanks in advance![Smile :-) :-)](/styles/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Couple of products links, anyone tried them?

Spidermitecontrol SMC. This is the one I'm using atm. Smells of coriander oil but has little impact so far....anyone else?
