Amblyseius andersoni Bottled - Target Pests
What Bottled Andersoni Goes After
Spider mites
Two-spotted spider mites, carmine mites, Lewis mites and Banks grass mites, plus European red mites and citrus red mites.
Russet and broad mites
Russet and rust mites, including tomato russet mites and hemp russet mites, plus broad mites and cyclamen mites.
A. andersoni also eats some young thrips larvae, but it isn't a thrips control. For thrips, use A. cucumeris or A. swirskii.
Heavy spider mite pressure?
Bottled andersoni works best on small colonies, so pair it:
- Phytoseiulus persimilis for webbing-heavy hot spots.
- Neoseiulus californicus for steady pressure in heat or drier air.
- Stethorus punctillum, a predatory beetle with a big appetite for spider mites.
