Spidermite Control

Phytoseiulus persimilis

The predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis will eat huge numbers of the two-spotted mite Tetranychus urticae. It is a standard treatment in many crops, particularly tomatoes, strawberries and ornamentals.

* 500ml bottle has large carrier volume for wider dispersion
* Ventilated cap for optimum survival
* High filling rate to ensure numbers
* Vermiculite carrier moistened for good survival
* Easy and handy to use
* Controls spider-mite resistant to acaricides

This predator is effective at a wide temperature range of 4-28°C and can be used outdoors as well. The adults and young stages feed voraciously on adults and eggs of the two spotted spider-mite and populations of Phytoseiulus increase dramatically at 20°C. It is important to start control measures as mites emerge from diapause in spring, and to ensure elimination of the pest in autumn before the pest mite goes into diapause.
