Deltatango301 Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Have you used it ? I don't fancy introducing another mite. As I said they are on the outside so I have just sprayed the greenhouse With the garden hose all over all gone now as they say they get drowned Reading about it perhaps I need to raise the humidity inside what's the best way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Deltatango, where have you seen the mites? Did you identify them on a sickly looking garden plants or have you seen the mites running over walls, paths etc? Predatory mites are an excellent way to control RSM. They will not harm your plants at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltatango301 Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 As I said they were on the outside of the greenhouse I will try and take a photo of them Next time the sun comes out, that could be a month :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 True red spider mites are barely visible to the eye, and tend to be a yellowish colour with dark spots. You would not notice them unless you where looking closely at the leaves of a sickly plant. If the mites are around 1mm and a velvety red colour, these are harmless and can often be seen running over walls and pavements, especially on warmer days. You might be in the clear!
