canabalistic mites at the expo?
I never went to the expo before.. this one coming up will be my first one! can't wait! I was wondering if there is any chance that there will be any canabalistic mites at the expo as i've heard some good things about them and i would like to try them out.
Thanks,
Davey

canabalistic mites i was told there is mites that eat/attack other mites.. for example you have a snake with the bad mites.. take the "good" canabalistic mites and throw them in, then they will eat and kill all the bad mites.. then when there are no mites left the canabalistic mites die of starvation.

You might get a better response by referring to them as "predacious" or "predatory mites." I've never heard them referred to as "cannibalistic mites", to me that implies same species. Or to avoid all confusion, refer to the genus.
Cheers,
Ryan

I dont know about the rest of you.. but Ive never seen Hypoaspis at the shows... yer best to order them online from a bio tech supplier.. I think there is one listed on the link I provided.. it takes about a week for them to arrive in a bottle.
VERY effective though.... they attack snake mites and the snake mite eggs

Thanks,
Davey

there was someone who posted not too long ago (within a week??) about having purchased (or in the process thereof) a large quantity of these mites from a supplier and wanting to share the cost, and the product, with others who were interested. For the life of me I can't remember who it was, but I distinctly remember the post. Maybe someone else remembers and can supply the name of the person....?
