Default Re: Im losing the battle against spider mites

I bought a cheap thermastat that tells me what the humidity level is in the room and as long as I keep it in the mid 40% range with a humidifier I don't have a problem. I had a problem my first winter and I was using the misting method with a squirt bottle and barely made it alive by spring. Even had a problem outside in the beginning getting those buggers to die. The following year I bought a humidifier that also has a thermastat so it shuts on and off on it's own for around $60 at Walmart. I've never had a problem since. But I live in a humid state also.
