Ordered some

Amblyseius californicus

Amblyseius andersoni

See what impact they have, I need a microscope to get a real identity.

Excuse me for tagging you in, I have ordered the above Andersoni and Californicus, they should be here in a few days I hope.

Do I apply these with lights off, or can I fit the sachets and sprinkle the tub with just fans off then just switch everything back on?

If they are in a little tub I just open the lid and put the tub on its side on top of the soil. If they are in sachets hang them from the branches. 
 

They usually come with a little instructions leaflet so you should be fine.
