I don't know if this has been brought up before...

Kathy,
That is very interesting, i haven't heard of using them for snake mites but I have heard of using predatory insects for other house hold bugs. Very interesting and it may actually work. I would assume the predatory mites would eventually die off as well.
 
That was a very good idea... I wonder if you can use them on aspen as well. I could not imagine checking bed a beast for mites. I have used that with my geckos years ago. Seems to me it would take for every to thoroughly search through that.
 
I looked into them when my Ball Python had mites. I did not use them , but did come across a site that sold them. The site was www.biconet.com/boicontrol/hypoaspis.html . I had read about people using them with success. They are supposed to die off when the food supply (mites) is exhausted. The could be used in an aspen substrate, but it has to be kept fairly moist.
 
Sorry, I tried that link and it did not work. If you go to www.biconet.com and look under beneficial insects and organisms , then click on fungus gnat predator , you will will get the info that I was referring to. Once again , I cant vouch for the effectiveness from firsthand knowledge.
