Predatory mites!

So what are the best predatory mites? I've been fighting spider mites for almost a year! I have azamax and have been managing them with that but I've also ordered mighty wash and I'd like to double down with some good mites!

Are the mites off Amazon worth it? Or will I pay for it in the long run by going cheap!
I'm also worried about having thousands of bugs crawling on my flowering plants!

introduce predatory mites after your spray next. They can't fix a problem that is there, but they can help keep it at bay after you kill off most of them.

I’ve always rid my spider mites by using, 2 tsp neem oil, couple good squirts of dish soap, and 1 liter water. Shake and spray underside of leaves every 3 days for 9 days. Worked every time!!

I get Andersoni predator mites. They're main diet is feeding on russet mites. They feed on spider mites and broad mites and all their eggs. The Andersoni can also survive feeding on pollen and fungus.. They stick around much longer than others. They will wipe out all mites within 1 -2 weeks

Then Swirskii mites feed on thrips, aphids and gnats.

Hypoaspis mites feed on 2 spotted spider mites, thrips, and root aphids


I order them from evergreen growers supply


Check my thread for recipes for a citrus ferment and em5 for ipm. Also dr zymes works against all mites. If in flower go with predator insects. Only spray during veg and early flower

I introduced them to my grow after finding them outside my house. They won't eradicate a spidermite problem but they'll keep the population down to levels that won't affect production or quality.
