Amblyseius andersoni in Slow-Release Sachets

Amblyseius andersoni, provided in slow-release sachets, delivers a reliable, continuous solution for managing multiple pest mites, including spider mites, broad mites, russet mites, cyclamen mites, and eriophyid mites. Ideal for both preventative care and managing mild infestations, Amblyseius andersoni is particularly effective in conditions where pest populations fluctuate or environmental conditions vary significantly.

Known for their adaptability, Amblyseius andersoni thrive across a wide temperature range (42–100°F) and relative humidity levels from 40–90%, making them versatile predators suitable for diverse and challenging growing conditions. They are especially recommended for outdoor crops, greenhouses, and indoor grow environments where environmental control is limited.

Each sachet contains all life stages of Amblyseius andersoni—eggs, nymphs, and adults—which gradually emerge over 2–4 weeks. This steady release establishes and maintains a robust predator population, consistently targeting pest mites at every developmental phase.

When to Choose Amblyseius andersoni

• Broad Environmental Conditions: Ideal for climates with variable temperatures and humidity.

• Preventative and Early Infestation Control: Effective for routine preventative application or addressing early-stage infestations.

• Multiple Pest Targets: Suitable for managing spider mites, russet mites, broad mites, cyclamen mites, and eriophyid mites simultaneously.

How Sachets Work

• Continuous Release: Predators slowly disperse from sachets, providing long-term suppression of pest populations.

• Multi-Stage Defense: Adults and nymphs actively hunt and eliminate pest mites across all life stages.

• Easy Application: Simply hang sachets directly on plants or supports without additional effort.

Benefits

• Sustained Protection: Continuous predator emergence ensures persistent pest control.

• Lifecycle Coverage: Targets mites from egg through adult, ensuring comprehensive pest management.

• Wide Environmental Range: Thrives in temperatures from 42–100°F and humidity levels of 40–90%, making it versatile for varied climates.

• Low-Maintenance: Minimal effort for long-lasting results.

Recommended Usage

• Preventative Deployment: Hang one sachet per plant or every 3 feet based on plant density and growing conditions.

• Managing Active Infestations: Pair with direct-release predatory mites (such as Phytoseiulus persimilis for severe spider mite infestations) for immediate and long-term suppression.

Tips for Optimal Results

• Placement: Hang sachets securely, away from direct water exposure, ensuring uninterrupted predator emergence.

• Integrated Pest Management: Combine with direct-release predators or complementary beneficial insects to enhance pest control efficacy.

Storage and Shipping

• Storage: Store sachets in a cool environment and deploy within 24–48 hours after receiving for maximum predator viability.

• Shipping: Sachets are shipped carefully to maintain predator effectiveness upon arrival.
