What Chemicals Are Safe For Predatory Mites? A Comprehensive Guide
Predatory mites are highly effective at controlling spider mites and thrips, but applying the wrong chemical at the wrong time can wipe them out before they even get started. This comprehensive reference guide breaks down chemical compatibility by specific predatory mite species — Swirskii, Andersoni, Californicus, Cucumeris, Persimilis, and Hypoaspis Miles — listing which active ingredients can be used safely alongside each one, and which require a minimum two-week waiting period before introducing mites. As always, checking the active ingredients on product labels (rather than trade names) is the key to using this guide accurately.
