Grizzlecock Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 What do the members think about introducing good mites into your loft to eat all the red mitesI think it's a good idea. A bit expensive though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzlecock Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 What do they eat if and when they finish off all the red mites that may or may not be there? According to advert they just die off if they can't find any mites to eat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenlands Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 My own personal opinion mate,I would give that a miss.If you have a mite problem,have a look at this stuff.A little goes a very long way so you won't need much,mix it with the deep litter/sand etc.a little under the nest pan,like any other powder don't inhale.Have a search and make your own mind upA mate of mine had a greenhouse absolutely invaded with ants,a teaspoon of D Earth in the right place soon sorted the lot.Snails and slugs won't go near it.Can be used as a wormer,I'll stick to moxidectin on that one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DIATOMACEOUS-EARTH-FOR-RED-SPIDER-MITE-POULTRY-FEED-NATURAL-INSECTICIDE-/251999045244?var=&hash=item3aac50467c:m:mY59yv9QNl4_3DnKSgHNnxQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
