Predatory mites--where to get them?
Well, I have fruit flies all in my hermie tank and I've heard they get rid of not just the pesky mites buy fruit flies, too. Does anyone have the link to where you can buy them? Thanks!

Here's a link where you can get parasitic bugs:
http://www.simplyhydroponics.com/hired_bugs.htm
But they have none specifically for fruit flies. You can get rid of them by trapping them in a glass with beer, wine or vinegar with a drop of dish liquid and stopping to feed the crabs fruit for about two weeks.

Use vinegar... wasting the other two things on bugs is a crime....Jedediah wrote:Here's a link where you can get parasitic bugs:
