An Organic Mite Control Spray for your Greenhouse..!!

1 bottle per litre.

 

bottles come in different sizes from 5ml upto 500ml im guessing maybe yours are 5ml bottles ?

 

As you don't indicate where you are I assumed it was U.K.

 

hi yes im in uk but i could buy a bottle that is 100ml but only need 5ml per litre obviously i dont mind the smell of lavender but dont want to over use and make items i grow taste of lavender lol

 

I’ve just had red spider mite for the first time and bought the predator mites which should be arriving this thurs. Would this lavender spray kill them too?

 

If you are adding preditors it is usually suggested you don't use sprays of any kind for a specific period before introducing the predators.
I've found the predators are usually much easier to kill than the pest.

 

Yeah, I bet that’s the case! The predator doesn’t over winter (course not!) so I’ll try lavender next year. In fact, I could spray the greenhouse with it end of season couldn’t I?

 

For me, the most effective control for most mites incl red spider is water. Keeping the atmosphere damp by spraying is always worth trying before any sprays or nematodes

 

How often? In this recent hot weather, in a greenhouse, a good spray would be bone dry in about 15 mins!

 

Hiya Daisybelle
As often as possible but for me 2 or 3 times is enough......an evening spray would keep foliage damp all night.
I had peaches in a conservatory a few years back and red spider was rife. I lightly sprayed with water regularly .....no sprays other than water for me on edible crops...and it gave good protection. It needs to be a regime where spraying is done early in the year to pre-empt red spider
