Mite-Rid - For The Effective Treatment Of Two Spotted & Red Spider Mite

Re: Mite-rid. FOR THE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF TWO SPOTTED AND RED SPIDER MITE

I'm surprised you guys are willing to spray pesticides on your plants without knowing what the active ingredients are. This stuff requires a gas mask to apply that's not a good sign. There are non toxic organic treatments that can do the job ie..

Neem Oil made from vegetable oil, safe for human consumption as used in some medicines. Mix 1oz to 1gallon of water and apply to entire plants, weaken mix for seedlings.

Insecticidal Soap Does not contain insecticide, it's just 1T of natural soap mixed with a quart of water, the soap actually dissolves the mites little body in a horrible way. Use a non scented plain coloured soap or make it from plain soap flakes and water

Water/Alcohol Mix 50% Alcohol 50% water and spray it over the entire plant, Alcohol can be Ethanol (vodka) or Isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) don't use Methylated spirits on buds as it contains pyridine a foul tasting drinking deterrent

Tried all those. What a joke they were at killing mites. The mites actually used the insecticidal soap to clean up with and the water/alcohol to shower off the soap.lol I could hear them singing in the shower.;)
If one wants a great one time application to kill mites I recommend mite rid. I've been using it for over 4 years now with great results and no harmful ingredients. Just follow the directions.

PS. I don't use a mask to spray with. I just hold my breath really long.;)

Cool! I guess? Maybe you should use those then! Not sure why you felt the need to bring that up actually. This thread is a bout mite rid not home made remedies.
You know none of us are pushing this on you or making you use it. We are telling you all about a product that we have tried, liked and gotten great results from. if you feel the need to do the same then please start a new thread and do so. But this is about mite-rid right now.
Besides, I'm using mite rid and loving the results. One application at half strength wiped out a pretty heavy infestation. It's neem based and I've been using it for years without any bad results
 
Re: Mite-rid. FOR THE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF TWO SPOTTED AND RED SPIDER MITE

Soooo.... I got my Mite-Rid, and used it almost 4 weeks ago. I'd have to say it kicks fucking spider mite ass! No new activity in the room at all. WITH ALL OTHER TREATMENTS ACTIVITY RETURNED WITHIN 2 WEEKS.

Unfortunately due to previous rough treatment of the plants, in effort to rid m self of said mites, I was infested with mold.

Treatments tried on

XXX OG, Afgooey, Cinderella 99, Afgani, in ebb and flow.

It should be noted that we are growing S.O.G. in a small closet (24" X 60"), so plants are in a close proximity to each other (obviously).

There was a control done off site (AFGOOEY) where the spider mites were left alone, with no effort made to control them.

The results of the control were not pretty. Spiders mites I think breed bad luck... Timer malfunctioned and lights went out for 2 days. Plants were unable to recover... and while the continues to try and finish... pretty much ceased developing at all, and died.

The mites were crazy in there... the plants (2 in a 24" x 24" space) were completly covered in webs... the webs and gone onto the walls... I swear they had a better rapid transit system than we got in my city... It gives me nightmares.....

Treatments tried;

Neem Oil ... Repeated applications following directions on the bottle (apply every 5 to 7 days).

Alcohol and water ... Repeated applications following neem oil directions.

Washed room with alcohol and water, and later with bleach.

Mites always returned with in the 2 weeks.

Got the mite rid... hosed the plants once. It has a slightly spicy smell ... kinda like fresh ginger.. (not the sweet stuff.. the asian stuff). My mother says it smells better than the neem oil.

Took the remaining solution and wiped the walls and equipment.

I also Installed a bleach barrier...

Put down a plastic runner (carpet protector.. hard plastic laid out to protect carpet in high traffic area's) just in side the room in front of the door. Then took and old towel no one cared about and soaked it in bleach and water, and placed it on the plastic in front of the door. House rules... wipe your feet! The bleach kills anything on your shoes, and close proximity to the vapors helps reduce infestation on your clothes (great if you've been in the back yard or have visitors). But as a diluted solution, it is not strong enough to affect the room/plants.

No mites yet!!!

Unfortunately I think the continued exposure to moisture was not cool for the girls heavy with bud. And I got mold... wiped nearly the whole harvest. And I'm now real worried about the rest of the room. Also continued spraying was a horrible way to treat my plants and I have noticed thats plants exposed to this spraying have been severely stunted.

I'm on a continuous harvest and can see a small dry spell in my near future.

In short this shit works. And tasting a quick dried sample from what I was able to save, has not affected flavor, smell, or smokeability. I have noticed no odd effects after smoking. Harvest occurred 2 weeks after spraying. Plants were fed one week of their normal diet, then flushed for one week with only balanced R/O water.

In short it works... and works well.

Why abuse your plants with continuous applications, when you can do it once, and your plants can go back to being happy and healthy.

:clap: Great post. :clap: I can sympathize with you on that dry spell. Been going through it myself lately.
Couldn't agree with your post more. Why screw around and hope you kill the mites when you could use mite rid and "know" you got the suckers!
 
Re: Mite-rid. FOR THE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF TWO SPOTTED AND RED SPIDER MITE

it is absorbed by the plant and stays in the system for 7 days. Longer than the life cycle of the mites.

Kills on contact, and then hangs around and kills what hatches from eggs that have been laid.
 
Re: Mite-rid. FOR THE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF TWO SPOTTED AND RED SPIDER MITE

Hi, am newbie.
I just noticed on the lable that the Mite rid states that you can't get it on root systems, but the product is systemic. Was wondering how this could effect NFT and aero systems.
cheers.
 
Re: Mite-rid. FOR THE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF TWO SPOTTED AND RED SPIDER MITE

The active constituent in RID -MITE seems to be azadirachtin
Azadirachtin

This is the ingredient found in eco-neem.
ECO Organic Garden


...it also exhibits systemic qualities. Is RID-MITE the same stuff with a different more expensive label?
 
Re: Mite-rid. FOR THE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF TWO SPOTTED AND RED SPIDER MITE

While I would be willing to try it... I;m not willing to have mites again to be sure. Sounds right though.

MiteRid worked wonders, demolished the infestastion and let me get to doing what I do best.

Fer me, getting something from australia was a slow expensive and tedious process. While I got what I wanted, it took forever, and they initially double charged me. all issues were corected via very terse email comunication.

PLUS REPS FOR FINDING LOCAL AND CHEAPER PRODUCT!!!!

As for getting it on roots, direct exposure fry;s the little hairs right off. Bad juju for roots man....

Re: Mite-rid. FOR THE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF TWO SPOTTED AND RED SPIDER MITE

I took the advice of the big dogs here, and they're right on again! Thanks for the knowledge. Mite Rid did in 1 application what every 2 weeks for the last year could not. I've got shell shock and can't imagine they're gone. I know they're laying low evolving into a new strain of mite, probably the burnt sienna super mite that this stuff doesn't work on, but for know i'm going to going to sell this stuff to my friends by the Ml. So once more, the igridients could be the same as several other things that are out there, except this stuff WORKS!!!!

Re: Mite-rid. FOR THE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF TWO SPOTTED AND RED SPIDER MITE

Mite rid worked for me. One application of the low dose mix and all I saw under the loupe for the next few days was dead two spotted spider mites, and none have returned. It really made me smile and feel good to see so many of those little bastards dead. My girls loved being free of the mites and rewarded me with great tasting kush buds that make you giggle.

I tried Floramite in an earlier grow. Expensive as hell, very scarry looking viscous liquid. Was warned not to get any on me (should have seriously been my first clue). Tried my damned best not to but must have gotten a little overspray on me 'cause an hour later it felt like an evil energy was creeping up my arms, yes I was medicated, no I wasn't halucinating. I went and re washed the heck out of my arms and the creepy feeling went away shortly after.

I love Mite Rid, plus the customer service was terrific. I emailed a question off to them in Australia and got a response the next day. Gotta love that. They gave me the phone number of a california dude who shipped my order way fast.The day the Mite Rid got to me, was the day the spider mites lost. And you REALLY gotta love that.
