Amblyseius cucumeris in Pest Prevention Sachets

Your Thrips Prevention Plan—Already in Motion

If thrips are always one step ahead, Amblyseius cucumeris is how you stay ahead of them. These sachets deliver a steady stream of thrips-focused predators—small, fast, and hungry for larvae.

Each sachet contains a blend of eggs, larvae, nymphs, and adults, releasing gradually over 2–4 weeks to establish a consistent predator presence. While their specialty is thrips larvae, they also go after Broad Mites, Cyclamen Mites, Rust Mites, and Russet Hemp Mites, making them a solid choice for layered prevention.

Best For:

• Preventing thrips outbreaks before they start

• Crops prone to Broad or Cyclamen Mites

• Growers who want long-term, low-effort pest suppression

Why Sachets?

• Timed release. No flooding—just a slow, controlled deployment

• All life stages inside. Eggs, larvae, and adults work together to maintain coverage

• Best used preventatively. Keeps mite and thrips pressure low without constant reapplication

• No mess. Just hang and walk away

What They Target

• Thrips (larval stage only)

• Broad Mites

• Cyclamen Mites

• Rust Mites

• Russet Hemp Mites

How They Work

• Mites emerge gradually over 2–4 weeks

• Larvae hunt pest eggs and larvae for 1–3 days

• Nymphs mature into adults within 7–10 days and continue feeding for 20–30 days

• Visible suppression often begins within 2–5 days after deployment

• Optimal conditions: 54–80°F with moderate humidity

How Many to Use

• Standard prevention: 1 sachet every 6 feet

• High-risk zones or dense crops: 1 sachet per plant

• Replace sachets every 2–4 weeks, depending on pest pressure

Pro Tips

• Start early. These mites work best when pest numbers are still low

• Pair with Orius insidiosus or Amblyseius swirskii to hit thrips across all life stages

• No pesticides. Residues will take out your predators before they can help

• Hang high and dry. Avoid soaking sachets during watering

Safe for Everyone but the Pests

Non-toxic. Non-disruptive. Works quietly in the background.

Shipping & Storage
