Beneficial insects against light thrips, delivered in 10 small bags.
Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday.
Ten small bags of thrips predatory mites, Amblyseius cucumeris, which is used as a preventative against thrips or in the event of an incipient infestation.
To get a good effect, it is good to hang the bags up early (in greenhouses often June/July) before the thrips infestation becomes too large. It is also important that the environment around the plants is not too dry. Try to maintain a high humidity, especially at the beginning of the growing season when the plants are small.
If the mites cannot find thrips, they can also survive on other mites and pollen, for example.
Thrip predatory mites are effective against light-colored thrips, but work less well against dark, tropical thrips species that are often seen in tropical houseplants.
Note that thrips predatory mites primarily feed on thrips larvae, so adults are not affected. If you have an established thrips infestation, it is better to use orius beetles. Once the infestation is under control, it is beneficial to hang bags of thrips predatory mites to prevent the infestation from returning.
Thrips predatory mites can also be used against dwarf and top shoot mites.
Instructions for use
The bags are hung on the plants, on side branches or leaf stalks. Over the next 4-6 weeks, thrip predatory mites will emerge from the bag and climb over the plant daily to search for thrips.
Please note that the bag already has pre-made holes, so it does not need to be opened further.
Avoid the bag coming into contact with the soil and hang it out of direct sunlight.
The predatory mites should be released immediately after receipt, but can be stored for a couple of days at 8-10 degrees.
