...in the Retic or Burm forum here at Kingsnake.

We were talking about these beneficial mites a couple weeks ago but I can't remember the details. Just that they eat the "bad" mites and then die off when the food supply is exhausted. He knows the name of them, etc., and I'm sure he'll be happy to help.

I was awakened in the middle of the night. Someone said I was urgently needed here. I came right away. What's the emergency?

Just kidding, I always wanted to say that when I was summoned.

I don't remember the name of the mites, nor have I ever tried it. But it sounded like a very interesting alternative to toxic methods of treatment for mites and I like the "thinking outside of the box" aspect of it. I think I read about it in the forums in the Bob Clark site, but I am not 100% sure. I'll look for it and come back and post a link if I find it.
