Suggestions for a 'BE PREPARED PEST KIT'.

I am 22 days into flower, after 48 days of veg and, so far, I've had no problems from gnats or mites
or any of the pests that can make growing miserable.
I use a Wilma hydro system and grow in clay pebbles (hydroton)
and use a mix of rain and tap water in my reservoir.

WHAT PRODUCTS WOULD YOU SUGGEST I BUY TO BE READY - JUST IN CASE???
WHAT PREVENTATIVE MEASURES SHOULD I TAKE - IF ANY???

Any advise or stories of personal experience are welcome.

Good question, here's what I keep on hand and I'm curious what others always have on hand.

neem oil, pyrethrum bombs, actinovate, h2o2, mosquito bits, hot shots (just added but for desperate times only).

edit - actinovate for mold prevention, not pests

What about the other things?
What are they for?

Mosquito bits (BT) for gnats. Pyrethrum for the "what the fuck is this fucking thing" insects, while I go do research. Hot shots for spider mites. Neem for veg stage nuisance pests. H2o2 for cleaning and prevention.

Stick with Neem Oil, cheaper safer and organic, also protects against molds, I've been using it for years do a monthly flush then spray with Neem, as a matter of course

Avoid those 'Hot Shots' possibly banned in the UK, as extremely heavy chemicals are used in the prep.http://www.hotshot.com/products-and-solutions/general-insect-control/pest-control-conc.aspx


"...Active ingredients[edit]

An active ingredient (AI) is the substance in a pesticide that is biologically active.Active ingredient To control colonies the roach bait may contain the active ingredient Fipronil .05% or Hydramethylnon 2%, available from Maxforce and Combat. These residual pesticides turn the infected cockroaches and their fluids, into bait themselves. These slow acting poisons, when mixed with a bait, allow the poisoned insect time to return to the colony or harborage and infect others...."
