Mites can survive below freezing temperatures, also, can withstand temps of up to 120F. I read it in Jorge's book last year when I thought I had mites. Those foggers work wonders, I'll be very surprised if they make it through that. But what are you doing to stop new batches of the fuckers from moving in?

and then cancer! Haha, jk, but I would be careful cause some of that stuff is residual. Wash anything you might eat off of if it has come into contact with the smog. Have you tried calling an exterminator to spray the exterior perimeter of your house?

cock-gobblers.. well I'm at a loss for ideas.All i can think is bomb the whole house. And when you start a new grow, bleach everything down, make your space airtight, and put some sort of pre filter over you intake openings. Then pray.

get some predator mites on that girl. If you're super infested they wont be able to kill all the bastards, but create a happy equilibrium
once you have pesteside on the plants you cant!

i think moving will be the biggest fix. i have moms, so there's never a between grow period; there's always something in the flower room anyway.
i do agree with more bombs. these were pyrethrin based, i think i'll get a few more boxes and do the whole house over. the plants seem to not have minded at all.

Open allll the cabinets and closets when you do this. Make sure all cooking untensils and dishes are covered with newspaper. Also any open food containers need to be stuck in the fridge/freezer (flour, sugar, cereal, etc.). Turn off any HVAC systems, too, so that shit really staurates.

you betcha. i'm going to unleash four more bombs before i go to bed (grow room is isolated from the rest of the house)
most of the fuckers are dead. i found three on one branch still alive, so we'll see what the next round does to them.

17 months and counting. i have a double whammy
Afids, Red and 2 spotted mites. you want to cross polinate the mites?
I have totally lost faith in all the bombs i have used some have 4% pyrethris and they still thrive. To regain control, i killed all but the moms. took cuttings from the mothers.
Rooted them and burned everything. this obliterated the main problem. no i am fighting a battlei can and nearly have won.
this was the best step i have made this year. i would guess my population to be under 50 total. i have many plants with NO white dots. this is a luxury i have not seen in some time!

with luck i will join you in spot free glory
if i could get a decent enough crop off, i would do the same; that's how i fixed them the last time, and it took about four months for them to get bad again.....

they only need 1 week warm and dry to ruin your your life. i kept hoping.
in the end it was futile. it cost a fortune to buy all the pestide. they were not strong enough. i killed 5 plants 4 days ago that had red mite colony.
i give up.
my fingers have been all i need. i feel sick not when i find a leaf with 6 or more. last night i found dozens. i check every day now and take all leaves with any evidence. Tuesday i will introduce predator mites with the Afid treatment.
I use WWW.koppert.com for my predators.

Wow that's totally shitty. I'm OCD so my house is always spotless. I'm like the only person in the area without roaches. My last girlfriend actually left me because I yelled at her for wearing shoes in the house. I had already told her like 10 times. AND there's a sign that says "Please Remove Shoes At The Door". But I've never had bug problems in this townhouse.
