The problem with mantids is they kill everything, even other beneficials such as ladybugs.

Re: "no-pest strips"--
you may not spend much time in your growroom but I bet your plants do.
Using a no-pest strip means your plants and buds will be covered in insecticide.
The use of those no-pest strips is restricted and are not to be used where food is prepared or eaten, because they will make people sick if ingested.

I think they make people sick when looked at.

I've had a mantid in 2008's outdoor. Probably the best natural bodyguard ...
