Spider Mite Predators (Phytoseiulus Persimilis)

Phytoseiulus Persimilis – Hunts Down and Destroys Spider Mites

Phytoseiulus persimilis, which belongs to the Phytoseiidae family, is a predatory mite used by professional horticulturalists for biological control of one of the most destructive pests out there, spider mites, particularly the well-known two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae). The female mites lay their eggs near spider mite colonies, where they also feed. After hatching, the larvae and subsequent nymph stages actively feed on spider mites, gradually growing and moulting until they reach adulthood. The life cycle of Phytoseiulus persimilis is completed in about a week under favourable conditions.

Why Choose Live Predators?

Live predators are the ultimate weapon in the fight against grow room pests. Unlike chemical pesticides, these living organisms offer a natural and environmentally friendly approach to pest control that doesn’t harm beneficial insects or wildlife, and won’t leave toxic residues on your crop. Plus, live predators establish themselves in your growing environment, providing ongoing protection that saves you money in the long run. Adding live predators as a preventative measure is a much better way to approach pests than to wait for signs of infestations. With their insatiable appetite for pests, live predators are highly effective at keeping populations in check, resulting in healthier, more productive crops that can reach their full potential. Choose live predator pests for a sustainable, effective, and cost-efficient pest management program.
