I'm aware of that. Draws bugs outdoors. Kinda self defeating. Indoors it's alright. That's old school. Props. Peace.

I've never heard of sesame oil drawing bugs. I use it in the garden and have never observed it attracting bugs. In fact just the opposite. I rotate between several homemade organic potions that I use in the garden and on my cannabis plants while they're in veg. I've had great success with a couple sprays of sesame oil outside in the garden on some kale that was getting eaten alive by bugs. As soon as I sprayed the sesame oil it stopped. It's used in several bee friendly organic products for use in the garden. I won't use any product outside that is harmful to bee's.

Dr Zymes is citric acid as is NukeEm. 3 tsp of citric acid per quart of water will kill all mites on contact and not harm your plants. It will sting if you have any cuts on your hands. I use citric acid as well.

Don't cut early.
Is the plant/ plants in soil or coir etc? You could lift it out of tent and put it into bath/shower and hose some mites off or outside with a garden hose. Just tilt plant over so you can get access to underside of leaves.

What about Mighty Wash? You can spray until harvest although one dose if done correctly will see them off.


There's also diy sprays you can make up yersel. Lots of DIY spray recipes ont tinernet, easy to make, chillies, alcohol, washing up liquid, canola oil etc.

The thing with products like Mighty Wash is they contain oils. Mighty wash has canola oil. When they say safe until the day of harvest they are not talking about cannabis that will be smoked. They are talking about fruits and vegetables that can be washed prior to consumption. You do not want to be spraying a product that contains any type of oil on flowering cannabis. Plus the pyrethrin is highly toxic to bee's.

Thanks everyone for the input....I couldn't find 1 that was alive lastnight. I sprayed with a diluted mix of water iso alchohol and dish soap underneath and added 2 fans blowing upward under the canopy.

I had ants and earwigs come out of nowhere when I used on cukes. One time and never tried it again. Don't know what else rang the dinner bell. May I never need to use it again. But if I have a need I will try it again just because you said it didn't. I would be happy to be proven wrong. Thank you for making me question my conclusions. Good to rethink things once in awhile. Peace.

That's strange. I have absolutely no idea why you had the experience you did. Earwig apocalypse

Anyway, my primary concern when using any product in the garden is whether it is harmful to bees. If it is I will not use it. Most of the organic bee safe products you can buy are just some form of oil and a surfactant you can make yourself.
