Spider mites can also be controlled with their natural enemy Phytoseiulus persimilis; a predator mite which feeds on spider mites. My favorite brand of neem is Einstein Oil. The trick to killing spider mites is to make sure the spray touches them. Tilt plants up on their side and spray leaf undersides where mites and their eggs reside. Miticides approved for food crops must come in contact with mites and eggs in order to kill them. If spray only touches the top of foliage, mites are not affected. Keep the entire room clean at all times, so there is nowhere for mites to hide. Inspect for mites daily and spot spray anywhere you find them. Eggs will continue to hatch for weeks, and new mites must be killed before they get a chance to lay more. Keep up a rigorous eradication for at least 6 months, and you should have the problem well under control. read this http://www.cannabisculture.com/magaz...ite/index.html
