I ordered some predator mites finally. Hopefully that works at least until next spring
I have wondered about them blowing in from outside in this scenario too. However, I keep plants next to opened, screened windows and, knock on wood, haven't had a problem yet. Although, they are on the second floor without anything near the windows that might harbor the little bas#&%$*.

Hopefully the predators keep things in check. Good luck and I am interested to hear how it goes for you.
