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.
