Neoseiulus Californicus, Mite Predator

Preferred food: Two-spotted spider mites and many others. Predators will consume egg, nymph and adult stages of pest mites.

Neoseiulus californicus is an oblong, tiny predatory mite that feeds on a variety of prey. Use on crops including: cucumbers, tomatoes, strawberries, tropical foliage plants, and greenhouse roses. 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.

Release rates: Use 1,000 per 4,500 sq. ft. of infested area.

Mite Predators - By EB on Nov 28, 2011
Neoseiulus Californicus, Mite Predator -- At first I was worried but after a couple of weeks the number of mites was down significantly. I am impressed!

They worked great - By John D. on Dec 22, 2011
I bought them for a bad infestation of spider mites that I had and they worked great. After about 2 and a half weeks the mites were gone.
