Amblyseius cucumeris in Sachets

Amblyseius cucumeris, provided in slow-release sachets, is an ideal solution for preventative pest management. These sachets offer a steady release of predatory mites, targeting thrips larvae, Broad Mites, Cyclamen Mites, and other pest mites over a 2–4 week period. Convenient and effective, sachets are perfect for establishing long-term pest control in gardens, greenhouses, and crops.

Why Choose Sachets?

• Target Pests: Larval thrips, Broad Mites, Rust Mites, Cyclamen Mites, and Russet Hemp Mites.
• Preventative Use: Slow-release sachets establish ongoing pest suppression before infestations occur.
• Ease of Application: Simply hang sachets on plants or in target areas for a hands-off approach to pest control.
• Long-Term Benefits: Provides continuous protection for 2–4 weeks.

How They Work

• Each sachet houses all life stages of predatory mites, ensuring a steady population to combat pests.
• Mites emerge gradually, seeking out pest larvae and nymphs.
• Sachets work best in crops with moderate humidity and temperatures between 54–80°F.

How to Decide How Many You Need

• Standard Application: Hang 1 sachet per 6 feet.
• High-Risk Areas: Increase to 1 sachet per plant for heavy pest pressure or dense planting.

Pro Tips for Success

• Early Deployment: Use sachets early in the growing season to prevent pest populations from taking hold.
• Combine for Complete Thrips Control: Pair with Orius insidiosus or Amblyseius swirskii to target thrips across all life stages.
• Avoid Pesticides: Pesticides, including mild wetting agents, can harm predatory mites.

Storage

• For best results, introduce sachets immediately. If storage is necessary, keep at 45–55°F for no more than 24 hours.
