Whatever it is, it's almost certainly too big to be mites. Most people
can't even see mites without at least a magnifying glass, much less squeeze
them between fingers.

Rubbing alcohol has yet to cause damage to foliage, at our place, and we've
used many gallons of it. But it can damage flowers/buds and we also prefer
not to get too much of it on the roots. Kenni

Bob,

First of all ...are they doing damage?

Not that I can tell but I want to catch them before
they can spread.



If you can sqeeze them between your fingers they sound like they are too
large to be mites.

Well you can barely feel them and I can roll them between my
fingers and they don't squish like a spider would. They are
easly crushed on the mount and it lookes like there is a
shell left. Very small.
