Has anyone tried LACEWING LARVAE for spider mites?

One of my Greenhouses is infested with spider mites , i have tried everything from predatory mites to different pesticides . Today i was inspecting the leaves and i found some strange bug hanging under the leaves it was looking like is eating mites, i took my loupe and i was surprised it was eating mites with incredible speed , for the minute i observe maybe it ate 8-10 mites . The bug is not small like predatory mites , you can see it with naked eyes and is moving fast . I wanted to take picture but i lost her trying to zoom in . What i found on the internet it was looking similar to lacewing larvae . If that bug doesnt damage the plant i think thats a real solution based on what i saw .
