I found this website: http://www.hydroasis.com/serously? wer do u buy lady bugs? i mean its not the lady bug time of yr now issit?
They're prices are pretty good and they seem to have a wide variety of predators for various things including the spider mite destroyers that I'm anxious to try. The predator mites are pretty cheap and you get three different species. 1000 predator mites are only $25 or so.
I don't believe that there is only one solution to this problem, or most problems for that matter. My philosophy is, the more ideas the better. If the Mighty Wash works then hey, terrific, problem solved! But it never hurts to have other options or ideas on the table because no one thing works perfectly for everyone across the board - particularly where spider mites are concerned. They are such an insidious and tenacious insect that I think multiple simultaneous and disparate methods are preferable. That being said, I am rooting vigorously for the Mighty Wash to be the answer. You and several others have had great success with it so hopefully I will as well. But even if I do, and it eradicates my problem, I will still employ other methods alongside it just for redundancy and efficiency. Every method has strengths and weaknesses, but the idea is that where one method may be lacking, another may pick up the slack. You gotta attack these little bastards on multiple fronts simultaneously, and that is what I plan to do.lady bugs, good luck with that. two simple words, mighty wash. this thread goes on and on with idea after idea when there is only one solution.
