Amblyseius swirskii - Bottles vs Sachets

Choosing Your Release Method

Bottled Predators: Fast Coverage

Delivers a concentrated dose of predators in a carrier you sprinkle directly onto foliage
Suited to knocking back populations that have already taken hold
Works indoors or out: houseplants, gardens, greenhouses, and larger growing operations
Re-introduce every 1–2 weeks as needed

Slow-Release Sachets: Prevention & Maintenance

A small breeding colony inside each sachet releases predators gradually over 2–4 weeks
Low-effort way to maintain standing protection between active treatments
Hang it and let it work, with no repeated handling for weeks at a time

Pro Tips

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).

Hanging Boxes for Bottled Mites

Pour bottled mites into hanging release boxes to keep them where the pests are and keep the carrier dry. Sachets already hang on their own.

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 releasing.
