Hey Stoney where did you get your predator mites and what species were they?
This place and species, Crazee Mites, are being recommended to me by the local bug experts. I love the description especially the part "kills more than they eat and harasses it's prey"...

i bought from two places... first one was from goodguys and i bought their blend, it contained A.cucumeris, N. californicus, P. persimilis. and A. swirskii

if the jungle rain doesn't keep them away and end my fight then i'll for sure be thinking of these crazee mites!!!!
it's the shipping that kills me, well kills them i should say, at twenty some degrees outside i think they freeze to death just getting here.
i like that they only need 30% rh though, most others require a crazy humid environment to thrive..
