Neoseiulus californicus (Amblyseius) Predatory Mites for Spider Mite Control

Predatory Mites for Spider Mite Prevention and Control

Neoseiulus californicus, formerly known as Amblyseius californicus, is a beneficial predatory mite used to help manage spider mites, including two-spotted spider mites. Use it in greenhouse or outdoor growing programs to help keep pest populations in check.

These predators feed on spider mite eggs, immature stages and adults. They can also feed on pollen and alternative prey when spider mites are scarce, making them useful for preventative introductions and managing low pest populations.

Features & Benefits

• Targets spider mites: Feeds on multiple life stages of two-spotted spider mites and other spider mite species.
• Supports preventative programs: Can survive on alternative food sources when target pests are scarce.
• Two release formats: Choose bottled predators or hook sachets to suit your growing setup.

Package Options

• BW-CA25: 16 oz bottle containing 25,000 predatory mites.
• BW-CA5H: 500 hook sachets containing 100 predatory mites each, totaling 50,000.

Release & Handling

Introduce predators preventatively or at the first sign of spider mite activity. Follow the instructions supplied with your selected bottle or sachets for release rates, placement and storage. Monitor the crop regularly to assess pest activity and determine whether additional releases are needed.
