And if you come here you will see biological control could work... My plants are not infested.

i would never pursue biological controls alone for orchid growing. to support the predator organisms you need a food supply for them, and anything other than zero tolerance for mealies, scale, etc. is not good orchid growing practice considering insects are known vectors for pathogen.

As I wrote, I don't rely only on auxilaries. If after 35 years of growing orchids biological control has been the most successful way of growing orchids for me, why should I change?

You shouldn't.
