Once I learned that,(indoors mind you) I eradicated my mites, similar as mentioned THEN put a small oscilating fan blowing on the plants! You might use a bit more water from evaporation, but I'm telling you, those mites were gone for good. Seems they like stagnent envionments and wind is bad for them. It really works. I also use fans in my hydroponic room and once I added a fan........no mites! Cheap fix. It works! <blockquote>Hey John Thanks for the tip! It makes sense. I'm going to try it this winter.</blockquote> *Spider Mite tip
