Mantis insecticide?

Does anyone have experience using Mantis insecticide? Seems this is a relatively new product consisting of Rosemary, Peppermint, and soybean oil. I'm looking at it as a rotational tool to do battle with mites. Anyone know if these ingredients are useful against broad or Russet mites?

Please also chime in if you have used these ingredients in a homemade mixture to control mites. Mostly just wondering about the efficacy of the ingredients. Thank you for your help and experience.
 
Those essential oils are deadly to the cyclamen mites

But I can't imagine they give much of a fuck about soybean oil.

Personally I dont like using oils like soybean oil because it contraindicatea w sulfur.

As long as you aren't using S you should be good.

PFR97 is the shit if you can get some

Heat treatments are key, read more here

Edit: I linked to page 4 for some reason, check page 1

LOL. Didn't consider my title drawing attention in that way. I wouldn't think of spraying praying mantis. Thank you for your help.
