A few simple tips to consistently get rid of bugs

Plants bugs and pests such as thrips, spider mites and aphids can breed in any grow room

Most growers will encounter issues with bugs from time to time, even if only occasionally. However, there are plenty of safe pest controls to help alleviate this. Most of these controls are plant and environment friendly and there are different products for different situations.

Environmentally friendly sprays for the control of pests and bugs in a  hydroponic plant growth room

Sprays are a good method and one that is commonly used in commercial agriculture as well. Sprays such as Spider Mite Control and Plant Protection Spray will help to protect against Spidermites, Greenfly, Blackfly, Whitefly, Thunderfly and many more plant pests.

The proprietary formulae include several plant extracts and salts. The combination of these ingredients provide effective protection against spider mites in all stages. With the addition of a foliar nutrient, our spray ensures that plants also get an additional boost to help the plant recover from a mite infestation quicker.

Frequency of Application

Read the product label thoroughly and follow it to the letter. During product development, hours and hours are spent testing them in order to deliver precise instructions. If applied too close to harvest they can potentially leave unwanted residues and although they will not effectively be harmful they can affect the taste and smell of the product.


However, more than one application may be required to deal with several generations of the pests. After one application there may still be eggs in the environment that can develop into a new batch of pests.

Fortefog Fumer

A Fortefog Fumer can be used in practically any growroom. These smoke bombs attack the nervous system of insects and destroys them pretty much in an instant. They do not leave any remnants of an odour and the fuse is non-sparking.

Guard n Aid Rot Stop

Rot Stop is a concentrated preparation of naturally occurring bacteria to promote plant and root health in hydroponics and soil/coir based systems.

Hardier plants can better resist bacterial and fungal infections that cause root rot.

This specific mix of beneficial bacteria when added to your system make conditions unfavourable for the growth of fungi, outcompeting the fungi thus assisting the plant to fight back and regain health and encourage fresh root development.
