An employee of a local hydroponics store recommended a product that was mostly isopropyl alchohol. These guys specialize in assisting customers who grow produce that is typically smoked. I have never tried it and wonder if it will hurt tomato plants, but you can find articles on the net concerning its use on spider mites and hemp mites (which are closely related to TRM). I might try an experiment on my Berkeley Tie Dye which is beginning to look sad.
