Fungus gnat predator mites !

[Jimboss83]

Hey crew

Thought I’d give some info back to the group since I’m always asking questions and not the best grower so can’t give a lot back to the community

 

I’ve been using Bugs For Bugs To obtain Californicus predator mites for the control / prevention of spider mites each grow ....

Just got an email which they’ve now researched and released to the public for mites that control fungus gnats

Check it out if ya interested

Don't the bugs just die out if they don't have anything to eat?

Reckon they prolly come with some sort of food source in there packaging.

If you don’t have anything......wait a bit I’m guessing.

so when you reckon good timing is to use them frank

Before release

It is always good to establish beneficial insects and mites early before pest problems develop.  Start your release program at (or preferably before) the first

hint of fungus gnats.  Close monitoring is advised to determine frequency and numbers for follow up releases if required.
