    Spider mites alcohol and water.

    I've got spider mites. I was going to send in a battalion of lady bugs but have decided to do a bi-daily rinse with 50/50 alcohol water (190 Everclear). This seems cleaner than chemicals and wife doesn't want 1000 lady bugs in the house. What do you all think? Any experience?

      If you have a tent, the bugs should stay in there until they run out of mite munchies. Note I said "should".
      ****tent (2x4) and large light (Relassy 300W LED) is in storage for now until I can solve some household electrical issues****

      CoM Stonington Blend soil, distilled water; Liquid Squid amendment if needed, molasses for flowering

        Alcohol kills them instantly
        also aphids.
        spray under the leaves, wait 3 days and continue.

        got rid of my spider mite infection in the veggie garden, after 1 week.
        got aphids inside the tent, tried with the same ratio of alcohol and water and 1 day after all the aphids where dead on the leaves.
        I hate using pesticides a fear for killing my plants. And alcohol doesn’t kill your plants
        Just because people are over 50 doesn’t mean they know everything.
        You can teach a old dog new tricks - But it will still think the old ways are the “best” lol
