Swirski Mite LD

Amblyseius swirskii – Predatory Mite

How It Works: Amblyseius swirskii hunts and feeds on pests by piercing them with its mouthparts and extracting their internal fluids. These long-lasting breeder sachets will release predatory mites over a 5-6 week period due to having two types of feeder mites. The extra feeder mite allows the sachet to last 60% longer than our other sachets and will produce 35% more predatory mites over this time. 

Target Pests: 

• Controls eggs and larvae of whiteflies
• Feeds on the larvae of Western Flower Thrips, Onion Thrips, and other thrips species.
  

Best Use: as a preventative or light curative against the above pests in commercial facilities. 

Shelf Life: within 1-2 days of receipt.

Important Information For Use:

• Do not open sachets upon arrival. They already have a pin-sized hole for predatory mites to exit naturally.
• Do not use Swirski, Thripex, Anso-mite, and Limonica on the same plants at the same time. These are generalist predatory mites, and if applied together, they may attack and eat each other instead of targeting pests. Always choose one type of generalist predatory mite per application.
• 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.
