Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Hypoaspis miles) – Predatory Mite

How It Works: Stratiolaelaps scimitus hunts and feeds on soil pests by piercing them with its mouthparts and extracting their internal fluids. The reduction of the infestation level occurs at a slow but steady rate. 

Target Pests:

Best Use:

Shelf Life: within 1-2 days of receipt.

Articles:

Important Information For Use:

  • Predatory mites are very small—typically 0.3 to 0.6 mm in size. This means they are difficult to spot with the naked eye.

Step 1: Arrival 

Upon arrival, please ensure that you place the product out immediately or within 1-2 days of receipt. Do not store the product in the refrigerator; instead, place the bottles in a cool, dark location at around 14°C until use.

Step 2: Placement

Spin the cardboard cylinder gently before use. Spread the material evenly on soil or planting medium (not on plastic).

Step 3: Repeat Applications

To keep a predatory mite army in your crop, you will want to introduce additional cylinders every 6-8 weeks or when you pot up, change the plants' growing medium, or bring in a new crop.  

What to Expect Upon Arrival:

  • Bottles will be packed in a protective eco box with ice packs and buffer packs to ensure safe transport.
  • Each bottle contains predatory mites in a carrier material, along with food for their survival.
  • You may notice little movement upon arrival (tiny predatory mites). This is normal. 
  • You can do a quick check on the bottles by downloading this video: Quick Check Bottles
