I have a hybrid greenhouse, not all glass, and had brugs and ee's in there last year and spider mites were in 7th heaven.
Do any of you set of bombs, or sprays before returning plants in the fall?
I have emptied the room as much as possible (all living things), it is free standing so I don't have to worry about it getting in the house or anything.
Thank you for your help.
greenhouse and bugs
I keep a fan going, which helps with all bugs in my greenhouse - might not be the answer to your problem, but it works for me.
Borrow some chickens?
Don't spider mites like it reallllllly dry? I'm kind of surprised they liked your gh, assuming that it was pretty humid for your tropicals.
I don't have the answer to the reason I don't have them, except that I run the fan - beats me - maybe I have them and just don't know it!
LOL - I think you'd know, on this one. They really make your plants look bad.
I grow Brugmansias and Plumeria in the ground, so I'm all too familiar with spider mites - I use horticulural oil and dish soap on them - they LOVE our humid Florida weather.
I read somewhere it's a good idea to remove all plants from the greenhouse, then spray it down inside with water- get it really wet. Then, close it up tight for at least 2 weeks. It's supposed to kill off all the bugs.
But not the Bermuda grass, grrr.....
DH calls it wiregrass, creeps along everywhere!
Can't spray it down with water because it has insulation, dropped ceiling and all that good stuff. It is a hybrid greenhouse. Class on south east, south, southwest, with normal walls and insulation for our wonderul 0 and below temps....otherwise couldn't afford to heat it.
Someone suggested a house bug bomb, worth a try. Long as I don't have to be in there for awhile.
Not against sprays just used very very sparingly.
Oh! I misunderstood. When you said not all glass I thought you meant the rest was plastic.
I think I saw the photos of your greenhouse before, actually looks like part of the house, right?
I'd probably go with the bug bomb too.
It is free standing but looks like a small room of a house, or a over glorified shed....LOL
