hey i recently saw a post (wish i could remember where it was) where someone had a jumping spider in their garden that decimated a mite infestation.
i've used ladybugs outside, but i dont want to have a huge swarm of them in my closet. i've also seen praying mantis sold as a beneficial predator, but i always imagine they're so slow.
spiders seem like a good idea. they wont damage the herb, and they'll eat the shit out of any bad bugs.
i'm hoping some of you have personal experience (ideally with indoor gardens). also wondering if there are certain species that are more or less suited for this task.
i just caught a little jumper in my house and i'm thinking of putting him to work, but i thought i'd come here first.
