Spider mite situation update - Success and failure

So here's an update on my orchids infested with spider mites, after using pesticides. Well, it worked and it didn't work, there is more to this than meets the eye, dare I say I knew? :)) ▼▼▼More info bellow!▼▼▼ Here's the deal. The abamectin pesticide works.. on adults only. And it's not systemic. Thus the eggs and other stages of growth are not affected. You can go around this and spray several times to kill them on adult stage, but when do they lay eggs, how many adults are compared to nymphs? you can never know when you got all of them if you have 500 crawlers on an orchid. Thus, some orchids are 100% free and some, not so 100%. This Phalaenopsis is badly infested, I would need to spray her every day for a month to get rid of everything. I decided to hair spray her as my last resort, since she is a nest and endangers everyone else. More on hairspray here    • Getting rid of spider mites on Orchids onc...   As for eggs and nymphs, well I paid a visit to the Ministry of Agriculture and met a really nice lady that recommended me a pesticide that kills all stages except adults, to use in conjunction with my current one. We shall see how that one goes. Stay tuned! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✿ Want to send me something? Here's my address! Orchid Nature P.O.
