So I'm hanging my buds to dry and there are spider mites that have made there way to the top and making webs! How do I get rid of these little buggers. There were no signs during the grow...please help.

Holy hell, the mites are LEAVING as there is no more live food for them, therfore you had them already as couch said. I hope you aint got any other girls around lol

Jorge Cervantes has a good tip I saw on youtube the other day Just had a look but couldn't find it again, sorry.
Basically, hang your buds up on a length of string, grease each end of the string, as SPLFreak808 says; they're leaving to find more food so will end up packed up at the end of the string.
Have the satisfaction of dumping the mite ridden string into a bucket of bleach etc

Thank you for the replies. They are making their way up top but staying on the top stem and creating webs. Should I take a lighter or small torch and burn them? Idk They have been hanging for a couple days

Habenero pepper spray is a good eviction notice for mites on living plants, just in case they hang around and eye any plants you might not have chopped yet.
