perlite will slow them, but not eliminate, same with sand. but sticky traps are very effective and should be at every plant. your cap generator will produce more than 1200ppm's, if disconnected from the controller. by now you can accurately judge how long yours takes to get to 1200ppm, and how long it lasts. do the math, set a timer, and keep it up all nite. this will overcome a sleeping or awake human if its exhausted out of a sealed grow area, be careful. not poison, but will displace oxygen. I never had mites, but have done this for a whitefly explosion, and a gnat infestation. dead in the morning, couple times and bug free for over a year. 50 degrees kills mites also, but most cannot drive temps that low, but for a couple small ones a refridgerator works.
good luck, those fuggers scare me and I hope you win soon !!
As I stated earlier I am relatively new to this sight and the wonderful world of growing your own. while getting educated in the whole ordeal of growing plants .During my readings of plant problems that may arise during growth stage of plants .I've read about my simular situation (spider might infestation) and as some of my fellow brother's and sister's of this sight have posted one of the best home remedies for this is Habanero spraying your plant's.Let me start by saying I am a 30+ year's veteran familiar with the habanero pepper. So you can see why this type of solution interested me so much so i thought i'd give it a try.Now a very important issue ,upon reading this and other threads in reguards to the use of this remedy, DO NOT TAKE THE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES LIGHTLY. Trust me when i say while administering the spray to my plants i learned a whole new respect for the Habanero pepper ,it's uses,and it's strenght.Within minutes the spray had me running with my tail between my leggs ,and my sphincter muscle flexing....OoOoOoOoOoO ... out of the grow room. ........Respectfully Jose 420 .
