I doubt people with large collections want to infest everything with more mites and the price is really expensive compared to PAM/Reptile relief.

Nope, I have read a few posts over the years about predator mites, but apparently the tried and true methods require insecticides.

They are quicker & cheaper but ALWAYS bad for any living being, animal, vegetable or mineral. Known fact that reptiles are not good with any of them. In effect you are slowly, but very often quickly killing what you care for!

There's No competition for nature!!

But hey I know nothing? So i'm told

I'm not sure why you think all chemicals are always bad. That seems a little oversimplified. There are very many that work wonders, and very many that are used in nature, by nature. Do you have reason to believe that Prevent a Mite is bad for reptiles? I would be curious to read any articles/research that might be present about this.

Articles are out there but then hard to find as its all big business!

Any man made chemical has more negatives than positives! It's a known fact!!!
They have a cure for cancer in tests done on rats but surprise, surprise it doesn't work in humans! Shock Horror lol
Why do you think there are so many more cases of cancer these days? Chemicals in the air, on the skin all those nice & good things we are lead to believe are harmless????
Research hard enough & long enough & you will find the truthes!

I think there is more cancer bc people are no longer taking care of their bodies. and people survive cancer with treatment (chemicals) if it wasn't for chemicals babies would still be dying by the thousands ie small pocks, measles and such. people with asthma, they'd die if it wasn't for chemicals , people with allergies would die if it wasn't for chemicals...my babies would have never been born if it wasn't for chemicals (rh factor)....your agreement is weak. My dog who had a severe heat stroke this summer would have perished if it wasn't for the medicine they used to stop the swelling in his brain...I could go on and on...
