Spanish farmers, no longer spray their crops with pesticides, instead of hanging small bags of mites on the plants, leaving them to attack parasites while sparing his produce. The use of these kinds of biological control is specially common in Spain's Almeria province, where much of Europe's fruits and vegetables are grown.
