Welcome back, Derek!! Have'nt had the mites, but BIG palm-weevil larvae, deep fried are GOOD! I also wanted to give a recipe or two for green iguanas (stewed in port wine, or curried) to the folk at Fairchild Gardens in Miami, where they are BIG and have become a very common pest in the gardens, but they declined. Just get a few W.Indian gardeners, that will do the trick, they also control armadillos.
Be well,
Julius
Julius>>Hmmm. Deep-fried spider mites could be the solution to the world's
hunger problem. I wonder if Julius has tried them in cornflour. Perhaps
a good beer batter. (Yes, I am just back from the home of fish and
chips). derek

Spider mites - get some water with a little soap - just to break the
surface tension, and mix cornflour in, when this is sprayed on and
dries, it cases the mites in a layer of cornflour, they can't breath and
die. Great method! Works on aphids also.
