Anyone attempted using predator bugs indoors? I'm noticing white flying mites and currently use glue traps and yellow paper, but need additional help.
So far as I know predatory insects and mites are only used indoors on a greenhouse setting. There they are unlikely to stray far from plants and temperatures/humidity are nearer their optimums for development.
If the problem is big, I'd recommend spray treatment. You'll need a lot of predatory insects to ensure they eat all the mites, and of course, you can't actually control them. If you can isolate the mites/plant (assuming its on a plant) in a container and toss the insects in to prevent them from wandering off it might work. Need to treat the eggs once they hatch too. There are some homemade non-harmful sprays you could try if it doesn't work. Usually predatory insects are recommended only for localized small problems. Otherwise success can't be guaranteed.
Thanks I added small jumping spiders and regular spiders that I've found in other odd corners of the house. Hopefully they like it and don't leave. Do these look poisonous to humans?
