Amblyseius andersoni

Adaptable. Tough. Ready to Work.

When your growing environment won’t commit to a climate and your pest problem won’t commit to just one species, Amblyseius andersoni is your go-to. This predatory mite thrives in the chaos—temperatures from 42–100°F, humidity between 40–80%—and tackles a long list of mites other predators can't keep up with.

Each bottle contains fast-moving adults that get to work the moment they’re released, delivering immediate suppression of spider mites, broad mites, russet mites, cyclamen mites, eriophyid mites, and gall mites. No eggs. No lag. Just results.

Best For:

  • Unstable climates—greenhouses, indoor grows, outdoor crops with unpredictable conditions

  • Mixed infestations—multiple mite species at once

  • Active outbreaks—when you need to act now, not wait for sachets to catch up

Why Bottles?

  • Immediate suppression. Adult mites are ready to hunt on contact.

  • Multi-species control. One predator, six-plus pest types.

  • No guesswork. Just shake, sprinkle, and let them handle it.

How to Use

  1. Gently rotate the bottle before opening to distribute mites evenly.

  2. Sprinkle contents directly onto infested plant areas, focusing on undersides of leaves and dense canopies.

  3. Avoid watering or spraying for a few hours after release to let mites settle in.

  4. Maintain mild moisture and air movement for best results.

How Many Do You Need?

  • Use 10–25 mites per sq. ft., depending on pest severity

  • Apply across all infested areas for full coverage

Safe for Everything You Want to Keep Alive

Andersoni is 100% safe for people, pets, and plants. No biting, no stinging, no leaf damage—just clean, biological pest control.

Pro Tips

  • Start with bottles for quick suppression

  • Then bundle with Andersoni sachets for sustained prevention—and get a discount when you do

  • Avoid pesticide residues before or after release

  • Combine with compatible species (like Swirskii or persimilis) for even stronger results

Shipping & Storage

  • Ships overnight with live delivery guaranteed

  • Release immediately upon arrival, or store at 45–55°F for up to 48 hours

This was my first time buying bugs

This was my first time buying bugs. I used their find a bug search which had me put it the type of infestation and the type of environment the crop is in. They pointed me to the bugs I needed and shipped out the following day. The bugs showed up in the morning next day deliver for the predatory mites. There was a mix up on the amount of mites they sent, sent out they missing containers the next day.
It’s been a few days and the predatory mites have laid a beat down on the two spotted spider mites and should save me from having to spray anything while I flower.
I will be returning every season. They even have bugs to get after caterpillar.

I cant tell

I honestly can't tell because it seems like the spider mite damage continues . My humidity is very high when the lights are on so maybe it decreased the ipm mites.

Hi! When you say 'very high humidity' how high is that? Andersonii performs best 40%-80%, with 80% being the highest they will tolerate. Is it possible your humidity is too high?

No luck so far

I purchased a $60 package of carnivorous mites. I applied them as directed after calling the company to be sure it was ok to release them in drizzle. They said yes. The ref spider mites are still everywhere. Next comes the heavy duty pesticide, I guess. 😳

Hi! Oh no! It is okay to release them in the rain -- heck, we've had people release them and have a tornado come through and they stayed put. This all leads me to believe something bigger is happening. Did you apply pesticides within 2 weeks of your mites? Are you sure you bought enough for your situation? Andersoni tend to survive anything, but are you still having ultra cold nights? Please feel free to reach out to our team at info@fgmnnursery.com and we'll be happy to help.
