Regroup after two-spotted mites

I have a 4x2 grow tent in my spare room, wood floors and no drapes just blinds. I lost the battle with the mites after using Pyrethrum TR and Crop Control regiment.

I'm going to vacuum and clean tent with bleach wipes and spray Doktor Doom, wait two weeks and repeat. Should I try a fogger instead of Doom. The Pyrethrum didn't seem to slow them down.

Thanks for any suggestions

Are foggers "safe" to use inside a house you live in?

I've never read a label so maybe it's no health concern but I think I'd seek alternatives.

Good question, I have my spare room sealed off but your point is valid.
I am hoping to get some good recommendations here.

Think about 1 gram citric acid per litre would kill them off, been battleing spidermites for years indoors and out, best if caught and treated in veg. But lve used it in flower too, burnt hairs and not so less is more. Bulk food store, tell them your making sour candies if in non reg zone. Bag will last forever.

So it is a powder?

what citric acid spray do you use?

Simply mix around 3 teaspoons of powdered citric acid per quart of water and spray the plants, particularly the undersides of the leaves where they tend to congregate. To use lemon juice instead of citric acid proper, mix 4 tsp. lemon juice, one cup of water and one cup Isopropyl alcohol in a trigger spray bottle.

These ^^ are the instructions I use. @xtsho can advise further or better.

Damn, thank you!

I just checked my small plant I started from seed and have kept away from the infected plants and it has mites. I think it must be from the soil even though it is new soil out of the bag. I sprayed the shit outa it with crop control.

The little bastards live along roadways. Anywhere there’s dusty soil.
