PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
ELIMINATE PEST MITES WITH HEAT-TOLERANT PREDATORS
Amblyseius andersoni predatory mites provide chemical-free control of multiple pest mite species across a wide temperature range. This heat-tolerant predator actively hunts and consumes spider mites, broad mites, rust mites, cyclamen mites, and other harmful pest mite species in all life stages - eggs, larvae, nymphs, and adults.
HOW THIS PEST CONTROL WORKS
Amblyseius andersoni are deployed as live predatory mites that immediately begin hunting pest mites upon release. This versatile predator targets multiple pest mite species simultaneously, making it effective for mixed pest mite infestations. The mites will remain active and feeding for weeks as long as adequate pest mite populations are available as food sources.
UNIQUE ADVANTAGES
- Thrives in high-temperature growing environments, making it ideal for hot greenhouses, outdoor crops in warm climates, and indoor growing operations with heat management challenges.
- Performs well on high-trichome plants - Ideal for certain specialty crops.

RELEASE INSTRUCTIONS:
BOTTLED MITES
- TIME YOUR RELEASE: Early morning, evening, or when grow lights are off. Avoid midday heat and direct sunlight.

- APPLICATION: Apply predatory mites directly to pest mite infested areas. For concentrated release, pour bottle contents into hanging boxes and hang near infested areas. Leave container in place for 72 hours to allow full release.
- MONITOR: Continue monitoring for pest mite activity. Repeat releases as needed until pest mite populations decline.
- SACHET TRANSITION: Transition to slow-release sachets for ongoing preventative control once pest mite populations are managed.
SLOW-RELEASE SACHETS
- TIME YOUR RELEASE: Early morning, evening, or when grow lights are off. Avoid midday heat and direct sunlight.
- APPLICATION: Hang sachets in areas with history of pest mite problems.
- MAINTENANCE: Prolonged moisture and damp environments can cause sachets to degrade or encourage fungal growth, but also should not completely dry out.
STORAGE:
For best results, introduce immediately upon receipt. If storage is necessary, store at 45-55°F for no longer than 24 hours. Store out of direct sunlight. Do not freeze.
