Amblyseius swirskii Bottled - Application

How to Release Bottled Swirskii

1. Release in the early morning, in the evening, or when grow lights are off.
2. If conditions are dry, mist the foliage lightly first.
3. Gently turn the bottle to mix the mites through the carrier.
4. Sprinkle the contents onto the plants, or pour them into hanging release boxes to keep predators where you need them.
5. Leave the open bottle near the plants for 24 hours so the last mites can walk out.
6. Repeat every 1–2 weeks until the infestation is under control.

Pro Tips

Hanging Release Boxes

Pour bottled mites into hanging release boxes to keep them right where the pests are and keep the carrier dry.

Good Bug Supplemental Diet

When pest numbers are low, hang Good Bug Supplemental Diet tabs near your release so predators still have food and stay on your plants. Contains shellfish (Artemia).

Chemical Compatibility

Sprayed recently? Some pesticides harm predatory mites for days or weeks after they dry. Check which chemicals are safe for predatory mites and how long to wait before you release.
