Spider mites, lady bugs and Spinosad

[Lakegal]

hello fellow growers
im currently battling a spider mite infestation
I have two grow tents and a converted porch that I've enclosed ( except for a screened in window)
i brought in 1200 ladybugs and they seem to be doing a good job on the spidermites In my two grow tents ( vegetative grow )
but my converted porches screen fell down and I lost the majority of the ladybugs
i have a bottle of Spinosad and want to spray my infestation in my converted porch.
question 1 will the Spinosad kill off my remaining lady bugs?
2 will the Spinosad be harmful to my plants that are 4 weeks into their bloom 12/12 light cycle?

Spinosad is an insecticide. It will likely harm your ladybugs. I cannot comment about safety using it on flowers, but I'm sure someone will comment with more experience .
Good luck

Thanks Californiakid
since there are so few ladybugs I'm going to spray my porch enclosure this evening with the Spinosad
and follow up with a rubbing alcohol mix, then repeat with the Spinosad .
i will try not to hit the bud sites too heavy with the spray. After I hit this grow with a few sprays
i think I'll get some more ladybugs make make sure I don't lose them again
I've gotta get a grip in these spidermites.
