I'll check this Pyganic out. If it will knockdown populations immediately, that's better than the mist although not by much. I removed and affected leaves and after 2 days they are gone. For now, but I'm ready. I considered the fungal issue but it's drier here than the Metroplex and especially Bastrop. Hence, the spider mites are more vicious here and I don't have to worry about fungal issues because when I stop misting, humidity falls immediately and fungal does have a chance. This treatment seems to be designed for the drier areas which spidermites are the worst within. These tomato farms with the row covers could use this method with pvc pipes equiped with screw-in misters nozzles mounted every foot or so and fight the little devils. This misting works excellent on the small scale, which is what we are isn't it?

I'm just delighted to have put 2 and 2 together and found a new tool against those devils that would have our plants for themselves.
