Phytoseiulus (1000) 50 Sq.m


A fast moving predatory mite, bright red in colour, breeds very rapidly and spreads readily across foliage, ideal for both inside and outside. The mites look actively for prey (all life stages of the red spider mite) and suck them empty. The ideal temperature for predatory mites is between 15 and 25°C.

Predatory mites are delivered in the adult stage. The mites need to be set out as soon as possible. The best time to do this is in the morning or in the evening, to avoid high temperatures. The mites together with the vermiculite have to be spread out on the plants to be treated.

One bottle of 500 pieces can treat a surface of 50 m² at early stages of infestation. If the problem is severe, more predatory mites should be introduced.

The treatment should be repeated after 2 or 3 weeks. In case of severe damage, it is better to remove the damaged leaves before introducing the predators. High temperature and humidity promote a good development of the predatory mites.
