Well my strategy of spraying with horticultural soap, neem oil and diatomaceous earth did not work. All three are completely ineffective against the mites. As a matter of fact i have sprayed with 3 types of soap 4 times in 4 days and still there are live mites running around. They just run over the food grade diatomaceous earth (Fine food grade) and continue breeding and attacking my plants. They are basically a nightmare as i have tried almost everything. (Soap, insecticidal soap, horticultural soap, neem oil, azamax, diatomaceous earth, sulfur). Nothing works and there is nothing really on the market here in Australia that targets them.
Also i think the diatomaceous earth dries out the leaves of the plant which kills them even faster. Not sure what to do now.
