12,500 Live Hypoaspis Miles (Predatory Mites) – Guaranteed Live Delivery!

We have bioactive reptile vivariums with soil, humus, and coco fiber mix substrate that use natural insect cleaners and have occasional grain mite, fruit fly, or fungus gnat explosions if things get unbalanced. Boosting our cleaners will eventually outcompete the pests for food but it can take many months as they find any other sources around the house to also live off of. I’m also in an agricultural area of the midwest and mice are inevitable every fall but this local population around the farmhouse we moved into comes with a parasitic mite. They can end up killing my gerbils and cause the cats and dogs to itch sores as the mites desperately look for more food sources. I spent 8months dosing my pet animals but meds only kill the mites after biting, trying to kill the infinite population of wild mice and stop their spread into an old house of infinite openings for them, and spreading nontoxic followed by less safe solutions all around areas of the house to kill the mites with no success. The population got so numerous despite all attempts that I began breaking out in red dots my doctor said did not look like any mite that typically bites humans. We decided releasing something that naturally hunts the pests down might be better than trying to kill or prevent every last one from managing to spread in the house.I actually didn’t realize this arrived for 2 days as it sat at room temp before I spread the contents over damp soil and distributed it to vivariums and shallow seed trays of soil kept misted with water in several rooms. Even if it initially just looks like a container of nothing the barely visible mites could be seen when they started actively moving around on to different surfaces. Anything smaller than them or that reproduces in the soil was destroyed. Finally no more itching, no more medications, no more harmful compounds that the dry powders and sprayed areas took another couple months to clean off the floors, and bonus instant death of all flying pests instead of months of slowly killing them off. Even houses with no pets will get fungus gnats attempting to live on any moisture source including kitchen sink drains in areas of high insect levels like here so I think it’s the only time in my life I’ve never seen any in a house for so long. I guess with a good food source the predatory mites multiplied and shortly after the pests disappeared I identified a gathering of the tiny moving dots around a water source as the hypoaspis. Then they were gone with no sign we ever released them except the lack of annoying flying or biting things around. I haven’t seen a pest since then but if they make a reappearance in fall like most midwest pests of insect and rodent tend to do we are immediately spreading predatory mites without wasting all that time on insecticides, diatomaceous earth, vinegar in the sink drains, and scrubbing animal cages or sleeping areas. I’ll gladly trade one temporary, nearly unseen critter wandering the house for a short time to kill all the pest ones that make themselves very noticeable.
