I have done this before to kill ants, but never mites (or what i believe to be mites)...there are some very small white bugs (almost microscopic) that are distorting the new growth on a few of my jaboticabas.
I tried a few pesticides, but they didn't seem to work!
before I try any more pesticides, I'm going to try drowning them!
I put the plants under water totally..where I will leave them for 48hrs.
Being that these little creatures aren't aquatic, I think this should drown them!
I will let you know if my attempt to drown them is successful!
