Mite Control

Beat two-spotted spider mites with predators that move as fast as they do — clearing active outbreaks and patrolling for the next one. No miticide resistance, no residue.

Spider mites are infamous for shrugging off miticides within a season or two. Spider mite biological control never loses its edge: predatory mites for spider mites hunt mites and eggs across the canopy and into the webbing where sprays can't reach — safe for pollinators, staff, and harvest.

Why choose biological spider mite control

Predatory mites leave no residue, fit organic and IPM programs (cannabis included), and reach the leaf undersides and webbed hot spots that miticides miss. Combine a fast curative specialist with a hardy preventative patroller for season-long protection.

How to build your mite program

Use Phytoseiulus persimilis to crash active outbreaks, californicus and andersoni to patrol and persist when prey is scarce, and the Feltiella midge to mop up dense, webbed colonies. Release at the first sighting, target hot spots, and reapply until predators have the upper hand. Spider mites thrive in hot, dry air, so easing those conditions helps your predators win.

What's in this collection

• PERSIMILISforce (Phytoseiulus persimilis) — aggressive specialist for active infestations.
• CALIforce (Neoseiulus californicus) & Andersoni — durable patrollers that persist at low prey levels.
• Feltiella acarisuga for webbed colonies, plus AMBLYforce S and SuffOil-X for added suppression.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best predator for spider mites?

Phytoseiulus persimilis for fast knockdown of active infestations, plus californicus or andersoni for ongoing, preventative protection.

Do predatory mites get rid of spider mites?

Yes — they consume spider mites and eggs and can eliminate outbreaks when released early and at adequate rates.

How many predatory mites should I release?

Use higher curative rates on hot spots and lighter preventative rates across the crop, repeating until control is established.

Will predatory mites survive after the spider mites are gone?

Generalists like californicus and andersoni persist on pollen and other prey; specialists like Phytoseiulus fade as prey runs out, so reintroduce them if mites return.
