Amblyseius cucumeris in Bottles
Thrips Larvae? Broad Mites? Release the Adults.
When pest pressure is creeping in and you want results now, Amblyseius cucumeris in bottles delivers fast, targeted control. Each bottle contains live adult mites only—no eggs, no waiting. As soon as they’re released, they start feeding on thrips larvae, Broad Mites, Cyclamen Mites, Rust Mites, and spider mite eggs.
This isn’t your long-game strategy—it’s your quick-response tool. Perfect for spot treating light infestations or jumpstarting control while you set up a preventative plan with sachets.
