Description: LIVE DELIVERY GUARANTEEDPackage contains 1,000 live Phytoseiulus persimilis predatory mites. ABOUT PHYTOSEIULUS PERSIMILIS: Adults are tiny, fast moving, red, pear-shaped mites with noticeably long legs. Unlike its natural enemy, the Two-Spotted Spider Mites, Persimilis does not spin webbing. Phytoseiulus persimilis feed on all stages of Two-Spotted Spider Mites. TARGET PESTS: Feeds on Two-Spotted Spider Mites. PREDATORY MITES IN BOTTLES vs SLOW RELEASE SACHETS: BOTTLED MITES: Best choice for an active infestation. Our adult predatory mites are a natural tool to help cure an active infestation of mites. These tiny predators feed on all life stages of unwanted pests in your garden and help to balance the ecosystem. Our beneficial insects work quickly to reduce light to moderate infestations. With heavier infestations, increase in quantity and frequency may be required. SLOW RELEASE SACHETS: Don't fight pests, prevent them. Avoiding garden pests is far easier than dealing with an outbreak of bad bugs - be proactive by preventing the problem. Our sachets are filled with a blend of predatory mites in a variety of life stages, providing a slow release of pest control into your garden. When it comes to having a healthy garden, preventative care is key. Release monthly as part of your IPM program. HOW TO RELEASE BOTTLED PREDATORY MITES: 1. Release mites in the morning, evening, or when grow lights are off. 2. Locate plants with spider mite infestation and knock down the webbing. 3. Lightly mist leaves before releasing mites. 4. Sprinkle contents on the infested leaves, or use NaturesGoodGuys Hanging Release Boxes (sold separately). 5. After release, set vial and lid in crotch of plant to allow any remaining predatory mites to be released. RELEASE RATES: BOTTLE: Light Infestation: 0.5-1 mite per square foot.
