after losing 3 beautiful girls to these little ba##ards and two more becoming infested the battle is won by my wife
I have spent I don't know how much on various pesticides and bombs without touching the horde my wife bets me she can get rid of them(from the beginning she has suggested that all I need to do is wash them daily with soap. Which is exactly what 1 of the $50. a gallon bug killers says to do while wearing long sleeves a respirator and eye protection). I laugh and give her a plant (the one in worst shape)well after two weeks I just burned mine and hers is going strong and bug free (she said hers would be going better if my cabinet wasn't right next to hers)
Before anyone says I'm promoting a product I'm, not she used Amway's LOC (liquid organic cleaner) I think any organic soap would work, that is just what the wife uses.
My advice if you get these little monsters, save your hard earned money and find a good soap and wash them daily. The wife said she is going to keep up the washing for another 2 weeks

It's not Liquid Organic Cleaner, it's Legend Of Clean. There is very little that would be considered organic in it but it is a lot less toxicr than what most people will recommend. Good luck.

neem oil kinda works. ladybugs also as a natural predator.

did you buy clones and bring them intothe house? that's why i grow from seed only now.

when the grow is over, you need to bomb the hell out of the room. there is a good fogger that i use (can't think of name right now)

If in veg, just THOROUGHLY clean the grow areas/intakes/exhaust/windows ect and give the plants an h202/water bath followed by a neem/h202 bath then throw up some no pest strips. If in flower then spray them bitches daily with h202 water and pray you still have chlorophyll left lol

Yes, I read somewhere else that they used 50% water and 50% dish soap and sprayed their plants with that. Bunch of different ways to get rid of them.
