I was evacuated a few weeks ago do to the fires near my home out here in the woods. Luckily I was able to get up there and flood irrigate a couple of times so my plants didn't die. But in the time I was away a pack rat moved in and broke off about a third of one of the plants branches for his nest and chit everywhere in there. But the worst and saddest part is the FOOKIN SPYDER MITES are on everything! EVERYWHERE! I panicked and decided to use my fogger and fog it with Pyrethrin(organic and comes from flowers) but my fogger decided to be broken! So I bought a couple of containers of lady bugs from Wilco but I really doubt they be enough to make a sizable difference. The plants are just now starting to throw pistils so not flowered out yet. What on earth can I do to keep these Spyder mites under control? One of these plants is about 10'x10'! So much bud will be wasted if I can't save them. What can I do? Can I save these huge plants? HELP!!!!

well I messed with my Fogger and got it working so I’m going to hit them tonight real good with the pyrethrin. It’s probably impossible to eliminate them at this stage but if I can kill most of them I can make it through flower. Fingers crossed!

I only had one huge 6’x6’ outdoor plant so I got away with Safer’s soap before buds started.

You can knock a lot off with just water from a sprayer.

Did you have a lot of webbing or did you find them early?

Your going to have to hit them a few times to make sure any new ones are dead.
