Andersoni for Spider Mite Control

The toughest predatory mite in the toolbox, Amblyseius andersoni shrugs off temperature swings and waits at low prey levels — ready to pounce the moment spider mites appear. The ultimate preventative patroller.

Amblyseius andersoni is a rugged generalist predatory mite that thrives across a wide temperature range and persists when prey is scarce. The andersoni predatory mite for spider mites is ideal for early, preventative protection — in the crop and working before outbreaks ever begin.

Why choose Andersoni

Andersoni tolerates conditions that stop pickier predators — wide temperatures and fluctuating humidity — and survives on pollen and alternative prey, so it establishes early and stays put. No residue, no resistance, safe for pollinators.

How to use it

Introduce andersoni preventatively via sachets or loose mites to patrol the canopy for spider mites and other mite pests. Pair it with a specialist like Phytoseiulus to crash any active outbreaks that flare up.
