Amblyseius swirskii in Slow-Release Sachets
Your First Line of Defense—For When Pests Are Just Starting to Whisper
If you’re seeing just a few thrips or whiteflies—or none yet, but you know they’re coming—Swirskii sachets are your best preventative move.
Each slow-release sachet contains a live mix of 1/3 eggs, 1/3 larvae, and 1/3 adults, so you get an ongoing flow of predators over 2–4 weeks. The adults start hunting immediately; the younger stages pick up the slack as they mature. The result: consistent, quiet control before things ever get out of hand.
Swirskii mites are barely visible—around 0.5mm, tan, and fast-moving. You might catch one darting across a leaf if you have great lighting and excellent eyesight. But whether you see them or not, they’re working.
Targets:
-
Thrips (especially larvae)
-
Whiteflies (eggs and nymphs)
-
Spider mites (low pressure only)
Important:
These sachets are for prevention and very light infestations only.
If you’ve got an active problem—visible pest damage, webbing, or large populations—start with Swirskii bottles. Those are packed with adults that act fast.
