Ground-dwelling mites, Hypoaspis is a small beneficial insect that lives in and on the soil. As an adult, it is about 1 mm long and brown in color. It feeds on many different pests that have one or more stages in the soil, such as gnats, water flies, thrips, chicken mites and collembolans (springtails). Both adults and nymphs are active in pest control. The soil-dwelling mite is fast and works actively already when released, but since it only fights pests in the soil, it can take a few weeks before the effect is noticeable. 2500 soil-dwelling mites are enough for up to 10 m 2 .
The soil-dwelling mite will remain in the houseplant as long as there is food, but it will die out as soon as the food supply disappears for an extended period, or if the soil dries out significantly.
