okay...well it seems that spinosad does, indeed, kill mites.
2 days after application: not many mites to be seen, most of them just empty dead bodies, nothing moving around much.
however, today, the third day, there are some baby mites present...so it doesn't get the eggs. right. well, eggs don't nibble...so that makes sense.
too bad i didn't know this earlier...as it is too late for many of my plants now, being too far gone to endure the three days of heat we've just had...and they are going down FAST.
sad.
but hey...tomato season 2.0 starts now! out with the cripsy plants...in with the lush new babies!
