couldn't find much on here when searching about predator options for mites and aphids so thought I'd start a discussion. I have been more interested lately in not applying any type of spray pesticides when possible while still being able to effectively control unwanted pests. I have read that mantis and ladybugs aren't always that good and depends on species. I found these 3 for spider mites specifically and was wondering if anyone has experience with them. I found one video on here about the phyto predator but not the others. please post up experiences/opinions.
