Red spider mite eradication.

I recently opened a thread about Solufeed Ltd and their range of fertilisers. Whilst it's still early days I can report that my plants do seem to be doing well after a couple of feeds with their balanced fertilizer.

I have looked at other products supplied by Solufeed and their Bugzof garlic based concentrate offers impressive removal of red spider mite. The following links describe the chemistry also the pricing of the 1L and 5L containers. Incidentally, they are offering a 15% discount this weekend (refer to the Solufeed website).

They have not tested against mealy bugs but feel that there should be some action albeit the scaly nature of mealies
does make the job that much more difficult.

Gulp. That Bugzof is a bit pricey but I suppose it dilutes well. It needs to at that price.

The 1L pack at £19.75 (less the 15% this weekend) seems a reasonable investment if red spider mite is wreaking havoc and note that control is provided at 1:100 dilution and for very heavy contamination at 1:50. That's cheap!

It is a reasonable price considering the dilution rate and IF it works it will be worth far, far more in my opinion.

Many other professional pesticides, with their dangerous levels of toxicity, can cost a lot more too.

I'm not sure it eradicates red spider mite. It just says it encourages resistance.
