Predatory mites in a bioactive enclosure?

Question

I’m Im looking into swapping to bioactive but I’ve also had a history of mites in my BP tank. Nothing too bad, he had a couple eggs on him when I picked him up that matured into adults. I got rid of them before with a good cleaning and predatory mites, but I just found 2 adults so Im doing another deep clean and buying more mites. Never had a severe outbreak, just the 2 instances with less than like, 10 found total.

once I do switch to bioactive, are predatory mites safe in that set up? I was reading they’ll leave my isopods alone but probably eat springtails. I much prefer predatory mites over extreme cleaning products that can harm my snakes so I’d like to stick to them for any future mite incidents
