Phytoseiulus Predatory Mites

Against Spider Mites
Using beneficial insects against pests is the most biological way of pest control. The predatory mite species Phytoseiulus persimilis is suitable for controlling spider mites on ornamental plants indoors and on berries and vegetables in covered cultivation.

Description
Silvery-white or yellowish mottling of the leaves is typical of a spider mite infestation. The pests are located on the underside of the leaves. In case of heavy infestation, they cover them with a fine web on which the spider mites are visible to the naked eye as small, moving dots.

The predatory mites of the species Phytoseiulus persimilis actively search for and suck their prey on the plant. The predatory mites depend on a relative humidity of over 60% (if necessary, spray plants with water, e.g. with Foxy Plus) and temperatures above 18 °C (ideal: 20-28 °C).

The beneficial mites are supplied on a fine-grained substrate and thus evenly scattered on the plants to be treated. 200 predatory mites are enough for the treatment of about 5-10 plants of about 40 cm height. Repeat treatment if necessary. In case of very heavy infestation, first treat plants with Natural.
