where to buy predators of spider mites?
 
My arborvitaes are infected with spider mites. Using insecticide "soap" kill
most of them for a while, but it's impossible to kill all of them, so they
come back eventually.

I heard I can buy bugs to kill them. Any idea where I can buy them? I don't
think home depot sells bugs.

I live in Seattle.

Whatever you do, don't use Sevin. It kills the parasites that kill
spider mites. It will make the problem much worse.
