mites.

Predatory mites on FROOGLE cost 22.50 per 1000.

Lady Bugs on FROOGLE cost ~$2 per 1500.

The LBs look like the better deal.

If you try LB.. water before you release any. Keep them cool while
your holding them. The first thing the 'revived' LB's want is water
and they will go a way to search it out. If you release them outside
try to do it on a day when it is misty or has rained overnight. You
keep them closer and they are fun to watch.
