Hello all chileheads !
nice to see that I'm not the only grazy who grows, eats & collects 
CHILES as a hobby. :)

I'm a indoor chile-grower from northern europe (Finland)
and I have just one big problem growing chiles: spider mites, (or 
whatever mites they might be) anyway they'll make web under the leaves 
and later on stems.
I've tried almost everything, spraying water many times a day, sometimes 
spraying pinetree soap, commercial pyrethin sprays etc.. nothing seems 
to help, I would like to know a way to kill them without killing myself 
with the poisons (I'd still like to eat the pods)

Nothing seems to help... They'll be always back withing few days, I've 
heard that some varities are stronger to them than others, I notest that 
they've attacked mostly on c.annuums, baccatums & frutescens, am I 
totally wrong? (again) :)

Please, anyone who has "won" the little bastards, share your knowledge!
Not just how to kill them but also how to prevent them.

The humidity in my "chileroom" is about 50-60 and temperature 22-26C.
