And what do you know first plant I picked out had them. Iā€™ve washed it thoroughly with castille soap and neem oil and quarantined the plant. Now every progress report for every plant gets a ā€œmiteā€ report. So far I havenā€™t found any more. šŸ˜ ![Anhang 1 von 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/HpY5pFUkyvXdGfVn0T-zi03O1OI_FR9Dv5Gv01gpW1M/c0f87de036c049b182bcb7d5ced3dc1a.webp?size=large) ## 6 Kommentare ### Cherrybergher kommentierte am 2023-11-13 Interesting! ### SueB kommentierte am 2023-11-13 They were very hard to see even with the microscope. But they were walking. ### Cheryl kommentierte am 2023-11-14 Ugh, sorry to hear youā€™re having to deal with mite pests. I havenā€™t had those before (working through my first fungus gnat infestation) and I liked it much better when there were no bugs! Haha Good luck getting your situation under control and having the mites eradicated. šŸ¤ž #### Tigerlilly antwortete am 2023-11-14 try BTI drops for your gnats. I use one drop per gallon and water and use it every time I water my plants and no gnats! #### Cheryl antwortete am 2023-11-14 Thanks for the tip! From what Iā€™ve read, liquid BTI isnā€™t permitted for sale here in Canada. We have mosquito dunks though so Iā€™ve been making a BTI tea from a dunk broken up into pieces and steeping it in a tea bag. So far Iā€™ve only used this tea for a week on my plants so I definitely need to give it more time to do its thing. Unfortunately it looks like mosquito bits arenā€™t sold here either. Thereā€™s also the hydrogen peroxide / water route but I havenā€™t done that yet and hoping I donā€™t have to. šŸ¤ž #### Tigerlilly antwortete am 2023-11-14 oh I see. mosquito dunks are the same at the drops but just not in liquid form. I use mine with every watering so you might have to use it more often to see a good result. --- _Die Planta-Community (https://getplanta.com). Lesen ist fĆ¼r alle offen.
