My lawn has been decimated by mites. I have sprayed on Mancozeb three times! Am I right in thinking this stuff is just watered down Bunnings stuff? I mowed the lawn low before applying, applied when it would not rain, and followed instructions.. Do I need to spend the big bucks on Thumper?(https://www.lawnaddicts.com.au/product/thumper-miticide?gad\_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwOe8BhCCARIsAGKeD54S5cGancoh5Gh6PRbRpaUO23bzyhhuakT\_SVX0LIKVRVZizJx\_xAYaAgZXEALw\_wcB)
I had to have flair apparently to post so I picked soil test. I am in Victoria, Australia.

If you’re looking for info on how to interpret soil test results, you can find all you need to know [in this post here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/lawncare/s/LPtlW1pau5)

Uhh, are you sure you have mites? I don’t live there, but 10 years in a growing climate. And I’ve not seen this.
Nematodes maybe, once or twice. To get my state certification, one of the questions was about nematodes. They said you couldn’t diagnose without a lab because they are too small. And extremely rare.
Perhaps you have chinch bugs? Or something related to them. This would potentially explain why treatments weren’t working, if you’re treating for the wrong thing.
Why do you believe it to be mites or nematodes?
