We got enough rain yesterday and today to wash most of my DE off so I may be reapplying it soon if I see any signs of mites. Right now the plants look much better than a week ago when I saw I needed to treat them because of mites. The only problem is I got whacked by EB that came in with that rain. I haven't seen a single stink bug or leaf footed bug since using it but am still seeing lots of bees so that is good. I don't know if the DE stayed on long enough to get all the mites hatching out. I'll keep a close eye on the leaves above the ones that were infested to see if I see any spreading of the mites. I'm sure they will be back any way this early in the year. It is just now getting to the time when they are at their worst down here.
