Neoseiulus californicus in Slow-Release Sachets

Neoseiulus californicus, provided in slow-release sachets, offers a proactive and sustained solution for managing Two-Spotted Spider Mites, Red Mites, Broad Mites, Rust Mites, and other pest species. These sachets contain a mix of life stages, including eggs, nymphs, and adults, ensuring a steady release of active predators over several weeks. Designed for preventative pest management, sachets provide consistent protection for greenhouses, grow rooms, and outdoor crops.

Once deployed, predators emerge gradually from the sachets, targeting pest mites at all life stages. Eggs hatch into nymphs and adults, establishing a self-sustaining population for long-term pest control. With their ability to thrive in temperatures between 50–105°F and humidity levels of 40–80%, Neoseiulus californicus sachets are highly adaptable to diverse growing environments.

Why Choose Sachets?

• Continuous Pest Suppression: Gradual release ensures ongoing protection by introducing new predators over time.
• Lifecycle Diversity: Contains eggs, nymphs, and adults for immediate and sustained pest control.
• Preventative Solution: Ideal for early deployment to stop pests before they establish.
• Low-Maintenance: Simple to hang on plants, requiring no additional application effort.

How They Work

• Steady Release: Predators are gradually released over 2–4 weeks, targeting pest mites at all life stages.
• Lifecycle Advantage: Eggs hatch into nymphs and adults, maintaining a self-sustaining predator population.
• Targeted Action: Mites actively search for and consume pest eggs, nymphs, and adults across plant surfaces.

How to Decide How Many You Need

• Preventative Use: Hang one sachet per plant or every 3 feet, depending on plant density.
• Active Infestations: Pair sachets with direct-release vials for immediate suppression.

Pro Tips for Success

• Monitor Placement: Ensure sachets remain undisturbed for consistent predator release.
• Combine Strategies: Use alongside direct-release mites or other beneficial insects for comprehensive pest management.
• Avoid Pesticides: Ensure plants are free of pesticide residues before introducing sachets.
• Early Deployment: Deploy sachets at the start of the growing season for optimal prevention.

Storage and Shipping

• Storage: Use sachets immediately upon arrival. If necessary, store at 50–60°F for up to 24–48 hours.
• Shipping: Sachets are shipped to maintain predator viability and ensure live delivery.
