Neoseiulus cucumeris – Predatory Mite

How It Works: Neoseiulus cucumeris hunts and feeds on pests by piercing them with its mouthparts and extracting their internal fluids. The breeder sachets contain 1000 predatory mites and will release these predatory mites over a 3-4 week period.

Target Pests: 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 when relative humidity is between 75-95% (greenhouses).

  • In cooler growing conditions, between 15-20C.

Shelf Life: within 1-2 days of receipt.

Important Information For Use:

  • 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.

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 fridge; instead, place the sachets in a cool, dark place around 14°C until use.

Step 2: Placement 

Hold sachets by the cardboard strip at the top to avoid damaging the predatory mites. Hang the sachets on the middle leaves and stems of your plants, so they are not in direct sunlight.  Ensure they are evenly distributed across your crop, focusing on areas with the highest pest activity potential.  Do not cut open the sachets. These sachets come with holes.

Step 3: Repeat Applications

To keep a predatory mite army in your crop, you will want to introduce additional sachets every 3-4 weeks.
