nah DB is not associated with mighty wash, but thats shit really does work, its just not cost effective(thus the graco airless sprayer, 100$ more to be efficient)
i dont use mighty wash(cause it exp$ive) but the shit worked for a little bit for me.

it's safe, just close the door, and cut the inline fans off, till, the light comes on.
When you use the pest strip, you need to make sure it's closed off, as that's what helps kill the mites, and a fan blowing is okay, just can't have exhausting air running at night.

don't need it.The trick to those pest strips, is to make sure the air stays in growroom, or as much as it can, so the vipers can kill them.
I'm just telling you what works for me.
I have used beneficial insects in the past, specifically persimillis for getting rid of spider mites.

check out my post please
Last report: I sprayed the Calicleaner 4 times over about a 2 week period. It had limited success. I'm finding plenty of eggs again. It's on to Floramite to end this crap for good. Not the healthiest stuff to spray on your smokables but I have 5 weeks before flowering is finished so it will break down in plenty of time. Liquid Ladybug, Mighty Wash, No Pest Strips, etc.- all work with only limited success. It may control the population temporarily but it's nearly impossible to kill everything which means they'll be back. I'm now on to the chemicals to be done with this once and for all.....

So usually I have this kind of thing on lock and don't even let it get to the point where I have insects/pests, but it's hard to stick to a regime when you're in a hospital bed or recovering from surgery 
. When I got back from the hospital I found my plants had mites. not all, just some. But even one mite on my plants leaves a sour taste in my mouth and a chip on my shoulder. Seeing as how flowering had already started I refused to spray chemicals on my flowers (I'd rather give them the chop and lick my wounds). Actually, I refuse to spray my plants with chemicals at all, whether flowering or just vegging. I try to never let it get to that point, but shit happens. During veg and up through the first week of flower I use some Safer 3-in-1 on a weekly basis to stave off mold, mites, and insects. It's been working for me for a couple years now, and like they say, if it ain't broke don't fix it. But seeing as how my regimen was thrown off, I had to find a safe, organic solution that could be sprayed directly on flowers without it affecting quality/taste/etc. and this is what I ran across. It seems to have worked. Awesomely. For me at least. Maybe my mite problem wasn't as bad as others that have tried this method and failed. Maybe it was. All I can say is within 2 weeks of starting application the mites had pretty much disappeared. Now, a month after starting application, I can't find a single mite or egg on any of my plants.

DB, you saved my ass from spider mites. I read one of your posts, tried Mighty Wash, and haven't used anything else since. I appreciate you spreading your gospel!

I agree Mighty Wash is the best thing I've found to kill mites with, Another solution, is a non-concentrate called "Liquid Ladybug". It's OMRI certified, organic. Me I'll stick with Mighty Wash, if only for the fact that it works... well... If anyone is trying to use M.Wash as a dip, stop. To activate it, you have to spray it.

I have been having great success with mighty wash thanks everyone.
After one application I think I killed at least 95% of them. Some foliage is just so thick I cant hit all the leaves. Took 1/2 gal though for one good application I only got a gal and want to make at least 3 apps.
Between the cold thats coming, mighty wash and doktor doom I better be able to totally wipe these suckers out.
