2,000 Live Adult Predatory Mites – A Mix of Predatory Mite Speciesl – Ships Next Business Day!l

6’ft x 7’ft indoor grow. 7 medium to small plants. Temperature 65 to 75°F, RH 50 to 70%. Drip system using organics with synthetic inputs as needed.Purchased 2,000, then purchased a second 2,000 one week later. Each shipment arrived next morning and appeared to have lots of life. Under a microscope I could also see eggs. I’m not an entomologist and have no idea what species of eggs were in the vials. I can’t even tell the difference between the predatory mites, the pictures of the different species all look the same to me.My first experience with bio control was almost a year ago. This was pure chance. I had a bad case of fungus gnats. The swarm kept getting larger and none of the bottled products seemed to do anything. After one day, my sticky yellow cards would almost be entirely covered. I did apply some mosquito dunks (BT) at the beginning of my battle. One night I noticed a mite in my growing media. No idea what species, but the body was a teardrop shape. Somehow, this predator found its way into my grow room. A week later I saw more of these mites and I could find them in all my pots. As this mite population grew, the swarm of fungus gnats shrank. It took time, maybe a month or two, now I only see an occasional gnat flying around and I can live with that! Bio control, in this case, worked. It was not immediate, it took patience. To this day, I still find these mites in my media. They never crawl up the plant, they only stay in the pots. Cannot rule out BT, it may have played a role.Now for the spider mite battle…I have tried everything over the past year to get these things in check. Even cleared out my room, no plants, bombed, sprayed, all the nasty stuff. Only to have them come back. I don’t like the nasty stuff and have been spraying insecticidal soaps atleast once a week, more when needed. I thought this special blend of predatory mites would be the answer, since my fungus gnat experience went well. A week before I ordered these, I sprayed every other day. The last 2 sprays were straight water, I didn’t want to take any chances with residues. I know the S mites have resistance, but wasn’t sure what kind of resistance these predators have. My S mite problem has blown up into serious infestation since applying the predators. I continue to knock them down with water, waiting for these predators to get established. With S mites, time is something you don’t have. They get out of control quickly. Each day I inspect the leaves and have only seen 2 of the red predators moving slowly. They were nice and plump, maybe pregnant? I hope! I know this will work, it will just take time. I will keep stalling the S mites as best as I can…My yard is filled with pests and very few predators. Thrips, mites, etc all around. I live in a rural farming community, so this may explain why. It’s no wonder why I have this problem in my indoor garden. I think it might be helpful to get these outdoor pests in check.Bio control takes patience. I don’t think it will ever completely rid your garden of pests. Life is resilient. But, it can keep the pests in check. My plants can deal with an occasional pest.
