Generally predator mites are used to battle spider mites. Is there any other forms of predators that can be used to fight thrips or fungas knats?

Hi there. Here's a list of
Hi there.
Here's a list of predatory bugs for Thrips and Fungus Gnats.
Thrips: Hypoaspis (predatory mite), Cucumeris (predatory mite), Guardian(parasite) and Orius which is a tiny pirate bug.
Fungus Gnats: Hypoaspis (predatory mite), Atheta (predatory beetle), Nemesis (nematodes) and BTI (Avaiable in Aquabac) which is a bacterial spore that can be sprinkled onto a growing medium. Once eaten it germinates inside the fungus gnat intestine and kills it.
