Treating African Violet with Cyclamen mite

Everybody will assure you that you may not observe a Cyclamen mite just with your unaided eye But it is simply incorrect, if you get 20/20 vision (even so they're nearly unseeable) (The debate persists in on if you are able to observe mites or not, some university web sites Says that you are able to observe them, and yet a few state you can not observe them) Though a 20x or a 30x magnification lens will make it much less demanding It's true, they're really tiny, just about 1/100th inch in length, with great eyes you are able to observe them traveling.
You are able to mildly blow the african violet leaves and see if something is running around

See the picture of just how tiny a Cyclamen mite really is.

Cyclamen Mite will induce african violet leaf twisting in the fresh/center on leaves.
The latest growing/Leaves in the middle of the african violet plant bill get seriously scrubby.
African violet leaves become brickly, really slender and may be transfused. The color may alter to tan, greyish or bronze.
African violet leaves incline to draw in with cyclamen mites and downward with the broadmites Besides Cyclamen mites dislike illuminations, so this makes it even more laborious to notice them.

Cyclamen photographs above and the insects itself was affirmed to attack African violet


Method:
Dispose seriously plagued African violet plants
Less hazardous soap solution, but could be too strong on African violet
and/or handle each African violet Plants with a good insecticide:
Avid, Akari, Floramite or Pylon

Di-Syston manufactured by Bonide, it "could SAY" it wipes out mites,
Even so it doesn't stamp out "Cyclamen mites" which is the commonly found mites upon African violets..
African violet plants handled with D-Syston still infected with Cyclamen mites even after thirty days of handling
