Use in gardens, fields, orchards and greenhouses.
Shipment, biology and release: Use these beneficial mites when temperatures are between 60-80° F. and there is a minimum of 60% humidity. These predatory mites consume their prey at a more leisurely pace (one adult or a few eggs per day), and can survive longer under starvation conditions.
