The bio control methods I have used in the past didn't often work very well. The problem, as I saw it, was
that the predators that eat the spider mites cannot tolerate growroomenvironments, which are hotanddry.

Intake Vents
These will need to be screened off to prevent rogue parasites from being sucked into the gardens. I am still
to this day a big fan of nylon stockings for this purpose. They allow airflow and work well as a filter too.
