Looking for input on Predator Mites

[AllenScott]

Just curios.....did you use store bought ladybugs or did you go out and catch wild ones?

I've also heard that dryer sheets work pretty well. Something about the fragrance that bugs dislike.... I haven't seen any bugs in my grow space since placing the dryer sheets so I really don't know if they work but I haven't seen a bug since....

CGI::::::

I have heard that as well CGI. I know they keep the mice out of the boat and cabin in the winter. I have heard the smell from the sheets can get into the buds. A buddy wrapped a bag in them for travel and they sure did transfer smell. How long have you been using them?

As to the lady bugs, I bought them. Thousands and thousands of them. They seemed much more interested in suicide by HID light than eating mites and I could not bear walking on them and killing them as they are my favorite bug.

My former location was quite hot and humid and management wasn't too tough: mildy soapy water spray kept them in check. My newer location in the Eastern Foothills runs quite hot and dry outside. I work pretty hard to keep the humidity up around 50% in 80 degree air inside the rooms. I have pretty large spaces I'm working in and don't have the ability to empty the rooms and sterilize.
