Predatory Mites - Bottle vs Sachet & Pro Tips

PREDATORY MITES IN BOTTLES vs SLOW RELEASE SACHETS

BOTTLED MITES

Best choice for an active infestation.

  • High percentage of hungry adults.
  • Introduce weekly or every other week, as needed.
  • Effective indoors or outdoors (gardens, houseplants, greenhouses, or agricultural areas).

Predatory mites in bottles are a cost-effective and targeted solution to address active infestations or to cover extensive areas common in large scale gardens, greenhouses, and agricultural areas. While predatory mites are avaialble in all life stages, bottled mites contain high concentrations of hungry adults, ensuring an immediate impact on pest populations. Whether distributed directly onto plant foliage or divided into optional hanging boxes.

SLOW RELEASE SACHETS

Best choice for preventative care.

  • Great for preventative and maintenance programs.
  • Inexpensive way to keep predators on your plants.
  • Packed with all life stages for a steady flow of predators for 2-4 weeks.

Slow release sachets stand out as a convenient, time-saving, and highly effective approach to both preventative and long-term mite pest management. These sachets serve as a slow-release and protective haven for immature predatory mites. Sachets are a user-friendly and convenient method of targeted application in situations where manual application might be intrusive or impractical. The distribution process is as easy as hanging a sachet on your plant.
