Amblyseius swirskii Prevention Sachets

Targets: Thrips (eggs & larvae), Whiteflies, Broad Mites, Russet Mites

For Prevention, Not Knockdown

If you’re seeing pests, it’s already too late for sachets alone. But if you want to stay ahead of thrips, whiteflies, and microscopic mites, Amblyseius swirskii is your best preventive tool.

Swirskii feed on:

• Thrips eggs and larvae (Frankliniella occidentalis, etc.)

• Whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci, Trialeurodes vaporariorum)

• Broad mites (Polyphagotarsonemus latus)

• Russet and other tarsonemid mites

Each sachet contains all life stages of swirskii—eggs, juveniles, and adults—along with a food source that helps sustain the mite population during the 2–4 week release window. Mites exit gradually and begin hunting immediately.

Not for Infestations

Sachets are designed for slow, continuous release. If you’re dealing with a visible outbreak, use bottles for fast knockdown—or combine both for layered coverage.

Choose Your Brand

Both versions contain the same number of sachets and mites:

• Tip Top Bio Control – U.S.-made and field-tested (and our go to). Consistent release under standard grow tent, nursery, and greenhouse conditions. A solid, reliable choice for indoor growers and collectors.

• Koppert – The Plus formulation is optimized for more consistent mite emergence, especially in dry or unstable environments. Often favored in commercial setups.

How to Use

• Hang 1 sachet per plant, or every 2–3 feet in dense canopy

• Do not open—mites exit through a micro-perforated vent

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

Best Conditions

• Temperature: 77–85°F is ideal (68°F minimum for activity)

• Humidity: 60–80% relative humidity preferred

• Lighting: Effective under both natural and artificial light

Pro Tips

• Use a supplemental food source (like Good Bug Diet) if releasing into clean or sterile environments

• Pair with bottles for dual action: immediate knockdown + long-term coverage

• Avoid misting directly onto sachets—hang them above the moisture line

• Don’t expect to see them. Swirskii are fast-moving and often nocturnal
