It's not the same thing like spidermites. Insecticidal soap doesn't work. Neem oil doesn't work. Rosemary oil doesn't work. They just "drink it" like it's nothing for them.
The only thing that works for me is 50% rubbing alcohol with 50% water because it burns them.
I tried some heavier things but they damage the plants also.
These things are a nightmare, i'm trying to get rid of them for over a year. I had a very nice indoor grow operation but i scaled down to only few plants and it's a pain in the ass to keep them just alive.
It took me like 4 grows before i even realised what they where because they are so tiny you can only see them under microscope. I thought first it was some kind of nutrients deficiency. But looking back that didn't made sense because plants don't die that fast from wrong nutrients and i was growing for years like a pro before of that. People always say like check the ph it's so important but it doesn't even matter that much imo. Maybe for a hydroponic grow but not in natural soil. So i was looking in the wrong direction first. Now i know what they are but you can't kill them easy, only with things like avid, azamax, floramite but they are very toxic to the plants and humans. You can't smoke it anymore, even when water cured afterwards. And i can't even buy those chemicals, they only sell it in the US not in Europe.
Did you know btw that aspirine can boost the immune system of plants? Just foliar feed it with water and in like 2 days plants will look a lot better. It really works.
Yes. They suck! Making the plants healthy by fixing soil and organic insecticidal soap!
