Amblyseius swirskii 25 Sachets with 250 Mites

Always arrive healthy and active. Love this company! Pest problems are always easy to manage knowing I can order predators from nature's good guys. Even got a couple of extra sachets!

These did work, you can see the littlegood mites come out periodically and swarm the bad. May need more than expected for large infestations.

Biological Efficacy and Target Pathogens The Amblyseius swirskii phytoseiid mite serves as a high-performance generalist predator within integrated pest management (IPM) frameworks. This species is specifically utilized for the suppression of various Thysanoptera (thrips) and Aleyrodidae (whitefly) populations. As a generalist, it maintains a defensive presence even in low-prey environments by utilizing alternative food sources such as pollen or fungal spores. Delivery System: Sachet Configuration Quantity and Deployment: The package contains 25 individual sachets. Sustained Release: The sachet design facilitates a controlled-release mechanism, allowing for a continuous discharge of predatory mites over several weeks rather than a single, high-concentration inundation. Application Logistics: Integrated hooks allow for efficient distribution throughout the plant canopy, ensuring the predators are positioned in close proximity to target pest habitats. Environmental Requirements Optimal predatory activity and reproductive rates are achieved in environments maintaining temperatures between 20°C and 32°C. Relative humidity levels exceeding 60% are critical to prevent desiccation of eggs and ensure successful eclosion. Evaluation The product is a robust solution for proactive pest mitigation in protected cultivation. It effectively bypasses the issues of chemical resistance and phytotoxicity often encountered with traditional pesticide applications. Instructions were simple just open and hang. This is by far the best value for the money out of all pest control and safe too. Overall Rating: 5/5 — A precise, biological tool for maintaining phytosanitary standards in high-value crops.

So I had a bad thrips outbreak in my home of 160+ houseplants and I decided to take the beneficial mite route. So far so good. What I was most nervous about was receiving satchets with seemingly zero mites. I stare at my plants very intensely and extremely closely so I knew if there were mites, I’d see them. And so far, each plant with a satchet has at least three roaming mites. Day four, the anthurium leaf pictured is COVERED in the mites! No way baby thrips can survive this bloodthirsty army…I am excited for each satchet to pop off the way this one has. I had poked three extra holes with a toothpick in this one pictured, so I will continue to do that with the others. Additionally, I found that resting the satchet on a leaf versus hanging from a petiole helps provide more of a platform for them to climb onto. You can trust this company to deliver your bugs ALIVE. As for their effect on my infestation? Time will tell. I will update this in time.

Showed up late but seems fine.

I use these and a tank janitor to many of my takes. These guys do great at keeping real pests away. I purchased a few times with lady hugs. Always alive and active. Theyre really cool. Im so glad These are offered on amazon. Highly recommend!!! Plants are looking great!!

I must have gotten a dud. I did not see not even one mite.

These worked great! It did take a couple of weeks to hatch and emerge, but they did a job on thrips - better than lady bugs. (remove all ladybugs before introducing these as ladybugs will eat these too)
