Product description ------------------- Mighty Mite contains the predatory mite; Macrocheles robustulus. This mite is a soil dwelling predator and feeds on insect larvae and other small insect pests that it locates in, or on, compost or soil. Professional growers use this predator as a routine to keep young s free from Sciarid Fly larvae, which can cause young s, or seedlings, to die either from the sustained root damage or diseases spread by the Sciarid larvae. Mighty Mite predators have been observed feeding on: Sciarid Fly (Fungus Gnats),Thrip pupae, Springtails, Woodlice, Housefly maggots, Blowfly maggots, Stable Fly maggots, Vine Weevil larvae. We advise using the Mighty Mites when Fungus Fly, or Thrip, have been identified on your s, or ideally before they have infested your s, but have been caught on your nearby sticky traps. Mighty Mite should especially be considered for use at the propagation of s. Mighty Mites are suitable for use in moist conditions, both in greenhouses or on outdoor growing media. They will not tolerate standing water, however. For optimal results the soil should be moist (but not too wet), and preferably rich in matter. The minimum temperature for optimum use of Mighty Mites is 15℃. The predators will begin consuming the pests immediately and, providing the conditions are optimal, will continue to feed and reproduce until the infestation is controlled. If you cannot see that pest numbers are reducing after around 7 days, you may need to apply more predators to completely eradicate the infestation. Mighty Mites are supplied in a bottle of vermiculite, which acts as a carrier for the mites and permits easy application amidst the soil and base of your s. Simply turn and gently rotate the bottle when evenly spreading the predators on the compost or soil around the base of the stem. Mighty Mites are not observed on s after application as they are soil dwelling mites. Full instructions are provided on delivery. Legal Discler ---------------- Mighty Mites are living creatures and can be affected by any pesticides used within the previous few weeks. As a general guide, refrain from using Pyrethrum or SB Invigorator 2 days prior to use. Other s insecticides can have long lasting residues that could harm the Mighty Mites and other predatory mites for much longer periods. Refrain from using these products or check with Dragonfli for information on the effect of these products on the predatory mites.
