Grower's Ally Spider Mite Control, 24 oz

Tldr; Saved 100% of plants (10+ plants infected twice) from spider mites. I’ve owed this company a review for a long time. I own about 30 large mature plants. Twice in the past year, 10 months apart, I suffered a spider mite infestation. Both times it impacted about 10 plants, then I quarantined my other plants. Here’s how I saved all my plants. For anyone who says this product doesn’t work, it is user error not product error. 1) Quarantine plants not infested in a different room. 2) With soapy water (I just use a little dish soap) meticulously wipe every single leaf with a focus on the grooves on the bottom side of the leaves. Yes every leaf. 3) After it has dried, now spray this product on the top and bottom of every leaf. Then spray the entire stem or any branches. I repeat this step twice a day for 3 days, then go to once a day for a week to two weeks based on how bad the infestation is. Then every other day. As you slowly stagger off, eventually to a few days, look for any new mites or webs. If they show back up, restart. 4) Stick a humidifier near the plants. 5) To prevent an outbreak of the safe plants, spray them once a week while you are actively fighting the other infestation. For reference, the first infestation was gone with two bottles over one month, but my second larger infestation required 4 bottles and took 2 months. But in the end? No mites and all healthy plants. Worth it.

worked well

My new bonsai plant got infested with spider mites. I was gone for 3 days and when I came back my bonsai was dying and it had spider mite webs all over it, poor thing. The infestation seemed to have moved in the soil too (not sure if just spider mites or something else, too). I gently cleaned it while waiting for this spray to be delivered. By the next day all of its leaves fell off. As soon as the spray arrived I applied it. It didn't seem to work at first. The mites were still plenty and moving around. On the bottle it said to reapply after 5 days, but I was desperate so I applied it daily the first few days and then every 3 days. It took less than a week for the new leaves to blossom. It's been 2 weeks since I first applied the spray, and there is no sign of any creature on my bonsai. It is once again happy and green. Thank you for this amazing natural effective product! Oh and also, I love the scent. It's so fresh.

This worked ok after the first application, but is not a permanent solution, as they will come back. Also to fully apply to the plant it takes about half a bottle, so know that one spray bottle is good for only two applications.

Does not work. Have used as repeatedly as instructed for one month now, and still spider mites. It's that simple. If a product doesn't work it should get zero stars, but Amazon makes plus give one. Changing this review since it's now been over a month. I believe the infestation of spider mites on my blueberry plants came from the tree vendor and was exceptionally bad. Finally they are eradicated but have basically used the entire spray bottle of growers ally. I do appreciate that this is organic and that it basically did what it said, but my plants are off to a rough start this spring. Didn't want to trash the product completely. Do I know of anothet organic OMRI mite killer that would work better? No. But I wish I had just used a pesticide that immediately took care of the problem. The time for the toxins to dissipate would be worth having an established plant by now.

Out of nowhere I discovered that the plants in my tent were infested with spider mites as they were in their final stages. Webs over my buds and all the leaves started exhibited brown spots. Heart broken I searched the web for solutions. I started off spraying down buds with alcohol/water solution to kill the live spiders. I then added 1,500 Lady bugs to clean up the tent but realized that Lady bugs were still outnumbered. As a last ditched effort I purchased This Spider Mite Spray and was hesitant to hurt the lady bugs but it was my last hope to try and save my little babies that I had spent months raising and where reaching fruition. I am so pleased to report that the lady bugs were barely affected and are still cleaning up residua Mites or eggs left behind. I have no more webs and have yet to find a live spiders Mites. Plants are almost ready to harvest and are looking awesome. I will be washing the buds prior to drying (look it up great idea and suppositly does not harm end harvest quality (just takes longer to dry) but I have high hopes that the Fall will be a Hapoy One!

On time. Good product. It works

This stuff does the trick. I had (past tense finally!) spider mites and started with my usual neem oil solution. Then I bought two different insecticides, it slowed them down but they kept coming back. One application wiped them out completely on all but one plant and the second application did the trick. The smell is whatever and dissipates as soon as it dries.
