Re: World record Pumpkin at Morgan Hill, CA

Seems a solution of sodium chloride and citric acid of about 3% concentration or so would do the job. Kinda like seawater with citric acid added. There are some commercial mixes of this stuff, but they will overcharge you for it. Make up your own. Get citric acid at any health food store. Spray it on the mites and leave for a half hour and hose off. Try to keep the solution away from the main root system of your plants if at all possible. Water the plants 
30 minutes before treating to prevent foliar uptake of the stuff. Good luck.

Cool, I still maintain the dream of organic giants. One day I will build

robots to destroy the stupid flying parasite dropper. Also, reassuring to
hear that is is legit, thanks. But I still think a small needle could
inject gallons of water into them without any visible scars.

No, Robert, but each pumpkin gets a thorough inspection before going

aboard the scales. It would not be simple to fill the pumpkin, as a
result,
although others have tried. It would almost be easier to grow a
2000-pound
pumpkin than to trick the judges. They've seen it all.
