Hypoaspis Miles Predatory Mites - Kill Sciarid Fly/Fungus Fly Larvae & Thrip Pupae (5000)

I had no problem receiving the product in time. The container arrived in a package saying it contains live insects and clear instructions how to apply inside the package. I shook the container and spread the contents on top of the soil in all affected pots. I could not see any mite in the mix, but assumed they are too small to be seen with naked eye. Ten days has passed and the flies are still hatching. I can even see the white larvae moving around in the pot, but still cannot see any mites around. So I guess I will look for another remedy for the pests.

I have been using this product for about 3 years to keep fungus gnats numbers low. In fact it eradicated them a few times and is the only thing that works! I keep various invertebrates and use it in their substrate. It’s harmless to them but keeps the pain in the ass flies at bay. It needs to be used continually over time (but large time lapse in between treatments) as these gnats will easily repopulate but it’s made life much easier. They really do piss me off. I know I said it before but I say it again it’s the ONLY product that works!

These mites are great value for money - a little goes a long way. Add them to the topsoil of new plants or after re-potting to guard against fungus gnats and other soil-dwelling pests . They'll get established and pay dividends well into the future.

The treatment did not work, contacted the company and their suggestion was to buy more. I would recommend looking for a cheaper solution that works!
