Hi all I develop two types of wasps:
1)Muscidifurax raptor
2)Spalangia cameroni
And now I have a real problem with Spider Mites(Phytoseiidae).
I see them mostly after 3-5 days after the wasps emerge from the fly pupa.
So there is any possibility to kill the Spider Mites but not to harm the wasps?
Maybe to do something when the new wasps are inside the pupa?

Also there is any good way to try to avoid from the Spider Mites?


I really need some help here.

Thanks.

Here is article on quality control for mass-reared insects (http://users.ugent.be/~padclerc/AMRQC/proceedings/Proceedings%20Cali%20Santa%20Barbara), which led me to the Association of Natural Biocontrol Producers (http://www.anbp.org/). Who knew? These guys might. Ask them.
