Can Vendex 50W be used to kill spider mites? The label indicates that it will kill supermites and is safe to use on cucumbers & tomatoes in a greenhouse setting. Has anyone used this product? Is it safe to use on my plants?

Don't know anything about Vendex, but Azamax was very effective against those nasty little arachnids. -
Azamax = essentially Neem oil, respective the active ingredient, azadirachtin
As for that Vendex, the info I get about the active component...yikes...
It's not even allowed to use in residential areas. You will smoke that shit.... no thanks.
There are not many mites that can survive a nice mix of insecticidal soap ("potassium soap") mixed with some neem oil. This is 100% safe, for your plants and for you.
I wouldn't use any chemical insecticides, even if they are "approved".Comment

Thanks Flexy123, that's what I thought, but I figured I put the question out there. I know it's a commercial product as my friends own a greenhouse (that's where the mites came from. We got some plastic sheeting from them and I didn't even think about it holding the mites). I am currently using Ivory Soap with water. Can't find Neem Oil here (we live in northern Alberta Canada).
