The mites have been tough this year for me as well. I tried Kelthane. No
luck. Then Floramite (bifenazate)...expensive @ $200/qt. They were still
crawling around the next day. So then I tried the home remedy 1 part
409:1part 70% isopropyl alcohol:2parts water. Next day they were STILL
moving around! Eggs must have been hatching. Finally, I tried Sunspray
UltraFine Oil and 1 day later, I can find no live mites. It's not very
expensive @ around $8/qt...enough to make 12 gallons of spray.

Good luck,

Jeff

I've got a run of mites that is getting out of hand. I've tried to be
environmentally friendly by trying the Safer soaps, etc. but have had no
luck with them. I'm ready to nuke these mites with whatever I can get my
hands on. I'm tired of fooling around and I'm coming close to losing a
few nice plants.

What miticides are out there that a hobbyist can get his hands on? In
another couple of months I will be bringing the plants inside so I'd like
something that would be household-friendly.

Suggestions and possible sources???

Thanks in advance!
