those things are everywhere around here. any way they can eat mites? i would think they are too small for those huge bastards to catch.

Lady bugs are good for aphids like fdd said.Get some preditor mites or praying mantis eggs.These will eat mites and the mantis will eat anything they catch.You get mantis eggs like 1 egg hatches 300 mantis then when your done let em go in the yard and they eat mosiquitos too..Good luck

Best thing to get rid of mites is a quality scare crow. The Fdd and Chuck Norris model seems to scare them off the fastest. : )
