Mites anyone?

[africancichlidau]

Mate , your vids won't play for me, (had the same trouble with the one Paris sent me), do you have just an ordinary pic of a few in macro? I've had these little buggas a couple of times and would recognise theem if I could see them.

Hypoaspis (fungus gnat control)
"Hypoaspis is a predatory mite that lives near the soil surface and feeds on fungus gnat larvae and thrips pupae.
Hypoaspis are dispatched in an organic mixture that should be evenly scattered over the treatment area or spooned into the base of pots. The mites then migrate into the potting media and feed on soft bodied pests in the root zone." - from the site .
It says they feed on fungus gnat larvae and thrips pupae- nothing about other mites. It also says the mites migrate into the potting media (soil). I dont see how from this description that they would eradicate snake mite.

Yeah I know. It had me confused but it seems to work.

AH. Thats because its the typhlodromus mites.

What a bucnch of dummies

No probs, Slatey. Phil : Too late - they've been thrown out, along with the paper towel they were on. I'll see if I can convert the file for you to a different format - thanks. Just a tip though - try downloading the latest version of Windows Media Player - it works in that ok. You might need to right-click the link to the vid and save it to your hard disk first. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp
