Red Spider Mite - - - Help and advice!!
Posted: Sun Aug 30, 2015 9:45 pm
Hi All,
I have two 8x12ft greenhouses full of cactus and have an outbreak of the dreaded RSM in both...
So far, I have perhaps two dozen cacti that have been particularly decimated (mature and young) by RSM. I have removed and isolated them from the greenhouses but there are many others that are showing signs of infection.
I have been trawling the internet and this forum for a solution but with mixed results...
Among the most effective treatments I have been recommended is to use either 'Avid' or 'Floramite'. Does anyone have any experience using one or both of these - has it been effective?
Can anyone recommend any other treatments? Any help would be hugely appreciated!! I'm anxious to deal with this before any more of the plants are affected...
Thanks in advance, and be assured, I have all necessary safety precautions covered - breathing apparatus/overalls etc.
Thanks!!!
