Are you telling me that plain old ordinary ladybugs will do the same thing as those spider mite destroyers do? I understand that the destroyers are in the ladybug family, and they do kill mites. The problem is they are very expensive, and it takes a whole bunch of them, depending on how bad your infestation is.

Not that I have mites anymore, but if I ever got them again this would be great. I have access to ladybugs, to say the least. I could walk out to the shed and come back in 5 minutes with a handful. And if this does work, what do you do about the ladybug problem then? Do you just make sure you keep them in your grow area, then they eventually die? Or do they reproduce and flourish? I guess I would choose ladybugs over mites, if I had to choose.
