Special Blend Predatory Mite Mix in Bottles

The Special Blend Predatory Mite Mix is a comprehensive solution for managing active mite infestations, combining four powerful predatory mite species: Amblyseius andersoni, Amblyseius cucumeris, Phytoseiulus persimilis, and Amblyseius swirskii. This blend targets pest mites at all life stages, delivering immediate and sustained control. The mites in this mix vary in size and color, from pale beige to bright red, ensuring broad adaptability to diverse environmental conditions.

Once released, adult mites begin hunting pest eggs, larvae, and adults, with each species contributing unique strengths. Females lay eggs near pest populations, which hatch within 2–3 days. The larvae and nymphs actively feed and mature into adults within 7–10 days, completing their lifecycle under optimal conditions. Visible pest suppression typically occurs within 2–5 days, making this mix ideal for urgent infestations.

  • Rapid Results: High concentrations of active adults ensure immediate pest suppression.
  • Comprehensive Control: Each species in the mix specializes in different conditions, providing broad-spectrum coverage.
