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

Mix carefully by turning the bottle a few times. Push the center of the cap open to open the dosage hole. Then carefully sprinkle on the leaves or release in diboxes. Make sure the material remains on the leaves for at least a few hours after releasing the predatory mites.
