Crazee mites saved my large (200+) collection! I've been fighting thrips for over a year. I tried lacewings and the mite mix (n. Cucumbers & Hypoaspis) several times over the year, and while they reduced the thrips population the thrips always returned. I released the crazee mites three months ago and haven't found a thrips for weeks. They are expensive, but they work SO well.
Georgia is such a pleasure to work with. She's patient and has a vast knowledge of beneficial bugs. I'm so grateful to her for suggesting these guys!
I've been ordering from Georgia since last year, and she, along with Karen, introduced me to the amazing world of beneficial insects. I've tested their insects multiple times with great results. Recently, I discovered thrips in my collection just before a two-week vacation. Thrips can spread quickly, so I was quite worried. I decided to use lacewings, and they successfully contained the spread. When I returned, none of my other plants were affected!
I also tried the Crazee Mites recently. Despite my initial fear of insects, I found these mites to be minimally invasivejust tiny red dots. They are solely focused on eating pests and pose no interest in humans. I released them in one area, and they efficiently spread throughout my collection, even reaching plants where I hadn't initially released them. Their intense prey drive makes them incredibly effective against active pests.
