Yeah, me too. I killed all my plants in November and moved to Michigan in December. I left all my grow equipment in the garage through the winter and haven't saw one since. I stopped taking clones from anyone since it was my homie who gave them to me. After I told him about it, he said, "just get this shit called avid pimp". Needless to say, I stopped taking him serious that day. Now, if it's in my garden, it came from a seed I planted.
Any reccomendations besides the ole Avid?

Isopropyl alcohol cut down to 35% or lower will kill them. Well the adults anyway. You will have to repeat the spray a few times at two and three day intervals to get the newly hatched mites before they can reproduce.

And yes you can use it during flowering without damaging the trichomes.

I also add potassium bicarbonate to this mix to stave off powdery mildew and bud rot. You can even add a small amount of castile soap if you wish.
Isopropyl alcohol kills most garden pests on contact.
Good luck friend!
