For sale: these mites are used to primarily control the sciarid flies - i.e. those little small flies you see soon after a cricket has died in its enclosure.

You tend to see two types of flies in an enclosure- the big chunky ones that like to walk around a lot (fruit fly sized) - aka scuttle flies, and these- the smaller more delicate ones - the fungus gnats.

I am selling 100 or so of these biological control mites which are predators of the young of the fungus gnats but will also take on other mites, fly larvae, springtails, whitefly... (but to a slightly lesser extent)

100 should be enough to do 15 or so cricket tub sized enclosures or 2-3 big, heavily infested enclosures.

7.50 inc postage 1st class (thse guys will easily survive for a few days- so no need for recorded etc)
