I am professor at Western Paraná State University (Unioeste, Cascavel, PR, Brazil). I would like to talk about alternative control of the lesser meal worm and the poultry red mite, mainly with biocontrol agents and mineral dusts.
I just know that there is a French company has a product of natural predators which can eat the red mite inside the farms. I can not tell you more respecting the non-commercial comment on this site. Asaad Sabbagh. Egypt

Also, I have been working on diatomaceous earth agaisnt boty pest.
