Hot Shot no pest strip is what I use. You will have to shut down the ventilation for 24 hours as it works by filling the space with insecticide. Odorless and kills them dead. Just repeat once a week for a couple of weeks. It really does work and you can see instant results if you have a lot of them! Store in a ziplock baggie and you are good to go. $6 @ Home Depot
Can u leave your light on when applying neem oil

No spider mites… as of yet. Thanks to your video, I now know how to identify and exterminate them. The video is VERY informative.
Lex, what are your thoughts on Diatomaceous Earth sprayed on or applied by other means?
Why is fps russia growing weed?
Aren’t some of the red mites predatory? How do you know which is which
What about in the flower like my flower has some spots on the flower like yellow eggs maybe
I need help I have a translucent whitish colour spider mite on most of my fruit trees and seeds etc. they are burrowing holes into the wood of my trees and even avocado seeds. They breed super fast and survive only on avocado seeds for weeks on end inside my home. I have heaps of avo seeds in my home growing in just water and omg they are destroying the seeds. Does anyone know what they are? They don’t make heaps of webs like some spider mites do. I wish I knew what they were.
Have you ever tried a hot box to fight and protect against most pest !
Burlington Ontario Canada for me
Don’t go nuclear hahahaha I declared war on these little bugs. Thanks for the visual. lol And a little peroxide and neem oil for them little bastards. And die cricket.
Neem oil can cause psychotic problems for those who smoke alot
Ladybugs are the easiest safest method and they work quick. Amazon sells them year round. Dont wait ,these mites seem to always be resistant to chemicals and the reproduce crazy quick.
Thanks so much
I dont know why alot of people never just think to use a vacuum especially during flower when you really shouldn’t spray your bud because spider mites love to pop up in the middle of flower and become a pain..😡 I use a vacuum and my plant looks beautiful again.. The trick is to consistantly vacuum your infected plant for a few days straight to make sure you get most of them and the eggs. Then after a few days of vacuuming leave it alone for a few more days and see if you see more webs popping up because I find its difficult to get them in one swoop because they scatter how ever if I treat the plant for a few days straight with a thorough vacuum I eventually wipe them all out because I’m not allowing them to reproduce hence is why I repeat the process a few days straight to hinder reproduction.. Seriously if you get desperate try that its chemical free just natural suction and it saves alot of B.S all due respect but alot of my fellow cannabis growers make it so much more complicated then it needs to be when growing and caring for cannabis like just keep it simple. lol You don’t need $3,000 worth of supplies unless your major farmer or have to follow grow rules to the T in order to grow some bomb cannabis.. Just learn to read your plants and it will be a breeze my plants talk to me and tell me when they need something I keep it simple and my smoke is smooth enough to smoke it straight from the plant fresh literally when normally you’d get a really harsh burn.
Man im gettin lil black spiders i try pinching them off but there fast i think there reg spiders
Don’t try squishing spider mites! I tried but I’m pretty sure I spread eggs to other parts of the plants. It’s better just to remove the whole leaf
Just found webs after 48 hr dark before cut. Its spotty and on 20%. Not sure what to do. Its sort of rot thru some spots it seems but dont think its dry rot at all.
You da man !
What about using predatory mites to kill the mites who suck the sap from the plant?
No neem oil outside
Phytoseiulus persimilis actually has a faster reproduction rate than their prey under conditions that are optimal for them, more specifically, the lower end of their preferred temperature range (18 deg C), and 60% RH. Eating between 5-30 eggs and spider mites everyday, your spider mite population should dwindle rather rapidly. Outside, during a heatwave, and RH down around 25%, then yeah, not so much.
I have this problem right now but I think I have it under control, I live in the Caribbean and its been very hot lately so I guess that might be one of the reasons… This was really help, blessings be to you brethren
What a week just tossed my favorite plant because it went hermie and now 2 days later I’m almost ready for harvest and then some kind of creepy crawley walks across my magnifier. I have multiple stages of flower going on in here so I gotta smoke these fools.
Love your vides!
My cannabis plant is 3/4 weeks old and I just found 2 of these red spider mites.. Any tips on what I can do? I really don’t want all my 30 other plants to get it.. Won’t be able to control it all then

These guys just screwed all my plants (in a tent, and I’m East Coast btw). I only see little black dots but other people say to get rid of it. I was flowering already, I thought it was a PH or magnesium problem. Started to see those white and then black spots. But even under a scope, Theyre too small for me to see. Now it’s time to clean EVERYTHING with miticide. And start all over again Sigh. I saw them on a few plants, so I just tossed everything, I didn’t wanna spray plants. Lol unleash stronger mites vs spider mites, I’ve read about that before.
i havn’t seen any mites but i found an egg. i’ve seen chewed leaves though.. only 1 egg i found
I had a dream I was watching a lady bug eating spider mites on my plant a week later I saw some on my plant
I have two plants outside and just noticed a mite. I’m in Salem Oregon and had a considerable amount of smoke and ash from the fires. I’m not sure if the ash helped make it inviting for mites. Anyway, I’m keeping an eye on them now since wonderful rain cleared the air. We have real sunshine now for the first time in over 10 days.
Will your leafs start to curl a bit ?
These buggers never touched my leaves went straight for the biggest cola and every morning I had a new Webb over it.
D.Earth around the base of the plant and around, can dust the plant with it before flowering too. Spraying water & increasing humidity not a good idea: from mites to mildew.
Thanks for posting!
Is it always spider mites if in Alberta or can it be spiders ever?
Can I pour boiling water on my soil before I put my plant on the soil?
I really appreciate all your help videos Lex, but I tried the Doktor Doom Spider Mite spray. Sadly it literally killed one of my plants. I followed their cautions like; spraying just before lights out, and no mention about rinsing (I didn’t). I only used it because I was 4 weeks into flowering and the plants were trellised in 3’x3′ tents – at the time. I was trying to give them a quick mist of Doktor Doom, but in reality, it delivered more product than I expected, or could handle "frankly". This spray kills Spider Mites, but it would probably be better suited for outdoors or at least an un-trellised plant to allow for more control over the application. Your videos are a real help! Lex’s World as one of my "go to" knowledge base.
They can get on your clothes too
Nice lex
Thanks lex!! Didn’t know about the aresol spray can. You have saved me so much extra effort. Stay lifted bro!
I’m wondering if diatomaceous food-grade dusting on the plants will kill spider mites?
On mine it sorta looks like a white powder but when I wipe at it then it looks like a spider web. And I’m starting to find the web look in some of my buds. Is this spider mites?
yeah spray your leaves and high RH will give you PM which is way worse than mites…
Is it legal to grow dope in us now?
Will this also work for russet mites?
Can you smoke them without harm?
too complicated lol they need to invent one solution
What would you consider "low relative humidity"
