these preds are di-urnal meaning if the conditions are not perfect for them they go into a comatose state in a nutshell lazy little bastards.

ive used them a few times before and even ordered an excess amount of 2000preds (i didnt count them tbh) for 12 plants with a very small infestation over 2 sq metres waste of effing space they are crap worked for a day or so but mites multiplied faster then preds so back to square one.

skallie ..I never saw you with a "very small" infestation..:rofl:..
but I agree, pred' mites are only really effective as a form of 'control', and primarily in a 'very' controlled and friendly environment where the infestation is light.
They will NOT eliminate mites, only aid in controling their numbers...IME
