Phytoseiulus persimilis Bottled - Target Pests
What Bottled Persimilis Goes After
Two-spotted spider mites
Its main target, at every stage from egg to adult.
Carmine red mites and Pacific spider mites
Controlled at higher release rates.
P. persimilis eats only spider mites. It won't control broad mites, russet mites, cyclamen mites, thrips or other pests.
Want protection after the knockdown?
Persimilis dies off once the spider mites are gone, so pair it:
- Amblyseius andersoni or Neoseiulus californicus for standing protection, since they hold on when prey is scarce.
- Stethorus punctillum, a predatory beetle with a big appetite for spider mites.
- Feltiella acarisuga, which flies to colonies other predators can't reach.
