They might end up eating each other & leave when the bugs are gone.. but in the mean time. I got an army out here... lady bugs, praying mantis and nematodes... stopped spraying for flowering... hopefully I’ll fish flowering with no bugs.. I have 5-6 weeks left outdoors.. I hope they don’t reveg

Praying mantises are highly territorial and have large territories, they will eat each other until there is only one or two left. And, they only feed on bugs that are the size of most cannabis pests, for a small percentage of their life, quickly outgrowing there usefulness to cannabis growers.
The Praying mantis in my profile picture is too large to be useful for getting rid of anything other than grasshoppers or other mantises (and probably Ladybugs), but it is cool looking, hence the picture.
That mantis in my profile pic wandered into my garden, so I didn't pay any money for it. I love Mantids in general but, for pest control Ladybugs are more effective. I've never used Nematodes, sounds like a fun experiment.

Good luck.

That’s what I figured.. I had a gang of them a month ago and now only a hand full, I did Have a whole lot of gnats and started to see some spider mites, I feel like the lady bugs & the Nematodes are cleaning out all the gnats & spider mites.. I just hope I don’t end up having to spray anything and kill them all..
