Cucumeris mites are the industry standard thrips predators as they feed on young thrips larvae. They can also be used to treat broad mites and as prevention against spider mites and flat mites. Swirskii mites and cucumeris mites should NOT be used together because they will prey on each other instead of the pests!
Cucumeris in sachets and mini sachets are slow release and best for prevention. Choose from hanging sachets on hooks with 1,000 mites per sachet or mini sachets on sticks with 250 mites per sachet. Sachets are best for larger plants, and mini sachets better for smaller plants.
Use 1-3 sachets per plant in a 6 inch pot.
