I didn't see it do anything to spiders however its pretty good with mosquitos. try to apply it at a time were its not gonna rain heavily cause the rain sort of dilutes it.

It has permethin in it and if you spray and get direct contact it kills the mites. I do not know if it safe for animals.

I am not really sure if it is working on ticks. I have seen only one tick so far this season. My neighbors have seen many and they use other bug sprays. I've never had a tick problem so I couldn't guarantee it works on them. I can only assume since it is working on the spiders and these gigantic ants we have here that the ticks are history as well. good luck Elizabeth. Trish

No, It didn't even work for the spiders in my garage. A waste of money. The only way I could get rid of mice was with baited traps. Use peanut butter or cheese.

I'm not sure it works on gnats. I have used it on spider mites and white fly. It seems to work sporadically, even for the same type of plants (2 different hibiscus, for example). It may work on one and not the other eventhough i apply the same way. All my plants are indoors for the winter.

Randy,From my understanding this may not be the best for spider mites. Try a spray with the active ingredient BIFEN or a home remedy with rosemary. Those will be easier on plants and it may take several applications to get any eggs. Good luck!

I would say "yes". My good friend who has always used it says it works on dust mites and hair lice. It works on any bug with an exoskeleton. I've also used it with cinnamon and peppermint for spiders in the 100+ year old house I live in. This stuff is awesome. Be sure to use on pets and their bedding. Fleas hate it.

This product is very effective on many insects that we have used in Georgia and Tennesse. We mostly bought it for spiders and ticks. Does not take much to make a batch because it is very concentrated.

My opinion: If you are referring to spider mites, I would not use this product. I might use an all season horticultural oil spray, but I also would check with my extension agent to find out what products in your area are more specific to spider mites....these are called miticides.

Yes, it should. You have to completely clean and treat their enclosure also and remember to re treat a few times a week apart to kill newly hatched mites.

Mix equal parts sugar and this product and place in a container that you can secure the top of. Sugar attracts the ants to this source. Poke holes in the bottom of the containers so the ants can enter to ingest the product. They will eat it and carry it back to the nest where it will either kill them or render them infertile, there are two schools of thought on this - but it certainly does work even on those HUGE carpenter ants that are downright scary looking. In the beginning, you may need to reapply every year or two. It only takes a small amount of borax. Borax has some toxicity and shouldn't be ingested, it is much less toxic than commercial ant killer, and you don't spray it around the house. Safer for you, your children and pets. Been using it since I was a teen and I'm in my 50's now and still telling people how well it works. It also works on some roaches but since I can't tell one breed from another can't tell you which ones.

They kill thrips only during the one stage the thrips spend in the soil. I don't know if that is enough to control them - maybe try blue sticky traps too. They will not work on spider mites. There are predatory mites which can work well on spider mites under the right conditions.

I have not had any situation with mites. I know Raid, etc works. This is an excellent product that immediately has killed roaches, etc that I have come into contact, if I could get a mite to sit still, I'd try it.

It does kill spider mites. It produces small amount of Ozone to kill any bacteria and microscopic organism. It also eliminates any cooking smell and bathroom odor. Run only few minutes until you smell ozone in the air. Ozone smells like mild bleach. Don't leave it on and leave the house unless the house is very large. I normally fog the house with insecticide to kill spider and mites.

To be honest, Larry, I don't really know whether this would work or not. I use my cell phone when it's being charged, and I've used a trickle charger that was plugged into a wall socket to jump a vehicle. However, I've never tried it with the Mity-Mite. You could give it a try. It might work, then again it might not. Worst case scenario would be damaging the Mity Mite.
