Predatory Mites

[roaddog]

Hey does anyone know of a place to get Predatory Mites at a good price? I kept my hissers a little too damp so now I have a little mite problem. Drying out the cage but I would like to pick up some mites for good measure.

If you have any info and or have bought from a place before give me a heads up. THANKS!

i dont know of any place to get them, but i have had mites in with my latteralis a couple times, i have hissers, lats, discoids, dubia, and lobster, i just keep them all dry wether they like it or not....cause i had a major infestation in with my lats recently....finally got over that....i had to hand pick thousands of tiny little nymphs and juvies and adults outta there, to clean it out....turns out using dry oats for bedding is a no no...so now i dont use any bedding at all....

Yeah it is best to avoid any bedding and give wet foods in waterproof containers. The only "infestation" I have are little mealworms and they are more help than hinderance.

As for predatory mites, I believe some "Garden Centers" carry them and there are some sites that sell them online. Google is your friend .

I was looking into them a couple months ago. These guys were who I was going to go with:

I spoke to Mike Cherim. They don't advertise it, but he was willing to ship them much cheaper, and just forego the guarantee. They ship tons without problems, so it is a risk I would take.
Several other places out there sell them as well.
