Anyone ever try them. Any success? I have used systemics with some success. Any info appreciated.

I have not heard of anyone using predatory mites. Keep in mind that with predatory control tactics, a population of the target pest must be present in order for the predators to maintain effective populations. So, if your goal is elimination, it's probably not the best approach.

I was thinking of having a quarantine greenhouse where I will keep mite infested bamboo. Just to keep the predators going. Not totally sure how it will work but I think I will try it in the spring.
