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 containers with substrate are quick release and best for active infestations of thrips and broad mites.
-1 liter tube of 20,000 mites can treat 20-35 plants in 6 inch pots.
-1 liter tube of 50,000 can treat up to 75 plants.
