Has anyone come up with a reliable way of ridding the world of Russet Mites? Lately, I've just accepted them as part of life, I would like to know of a way of killing them. So far, the only way I know that will kill them dead, dead, dead is fire. Unfortunately, that method also kills the plants.

As a side note, I'm in Texas, where it gets hot, really hot, and my plants are outdoor.

Predator mites kill them dead dead dead. The only problem with predator mites is they sometimes kill them too good and then starve because there are no more mites left to eat.
