Default [IBC] Beneficial Insects and Mites

One of the better U of Fla. Pages.

You should note that predatory mites are MUCH more susceptible to
pesticides than the spider mites they prey on. So, while it does
almost NO good to spray spider mites with a pesticide, you may
(probably will) be killing the predators that are munching on
them.
