Special Blend Predatory Mite Mix Treatment Bottles
Four Predators. One Mission: Wipe Out Your Mite Problem.
Special Blend Predatory Mite Bottles (Adults Only)
This isn’t some generic blend—it’s a strategic hit squad:
-
Amblyseius swirskii – targets broad mites + thrips larvae
-
Phytoseiulus persimilis – spider mite assassin
-
Amblyseius cucumeris – early-stage thrips + broad mite control
-
Amblyseius andersoni – the climate-tolerant generalist
Each species works a different angle: some feed on eggs, others track down adults; some dominate in high heat, others hold steady in spring cool-downs. Together, they offer broad-spectrum knockdown of spider mites, russet mites, broad mites, rust mites—and some bonus thrips suppression while they’re at it.
You’ll typically see results in 2–5 days. And if you’re pairing with slow-release sachets? You’ll stay ahead of the curve.

When to Use Special Blend Bottles vs. Other Options
| Product | Use When… | Targets | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Special Blend Bottles | You already see pests—damage, webbing, bronzing, stunting | Spider, broad, rust, russet mites + thrips larvae | Outbreaks, hot spots |
| Special Blend Sachets | You’ve cleared an outbreak or want to stay ahead | Same pests, slow release over 2–4 weeks | Prevention, post-treatment |
| Persimilis Bottles | You have just spider mites—nothing else | Spider mites only | Fast spider mite knockdown |
| Swirskii Bottles | You’re dealing with thrips + broad mites in flowering crops | Thrips larvae, broad mites, whitefly eggs | Warm, humid, flowering crops |
| Cucumeris Bottles | You want mild thrips/broad mite suppression long-term | Thrips larvae, broad mites | Thrips prevention |
| Andersoni Bottles | It’s cooler or you want generalist backup | Spider, broad, rust mites |
Cool setups, shoulder seasons |

-
New generation starts hunting within a week
-
Adults continue feeding and reproducing for up to 30 days
How Much to Use
| Infestation Level | Suggested Rate | Example Coverage Area |
|---|---|---|
| Light | 2–10 mites per sq. ft. | ~1,000–5,000 mites for small tent setups |
| Moderate | 10–15 mites per sq. ft. | 10,000–20,000 mites per greenhouse bed |
| Heavy | 15–25+ mites per sq. ft. | 25,000+ mites recommended for outbreak control |
| Ongoing Control | Pair with sachets every 2–4 weeks | Long-term suppression without re-dosing |
When in doubt? Go higher. Too few mites = wasted effort. Too many = faster results.
