› Grower guide More information about Predatory Mites

If thrips or spider mites are your problem, predatory mites are your front line. Buy the species matched to your pest and let them patrol the canopy — eating eggs, larvae, and adults around the clock.

Predatory mites are fast-moving beneficials that hunt pest mites and thrips and their eggs across the leaves and soil. When you buy predatory mites, you get targeted, residue-free control that prevents resistance and protects pollinators.

Why choose predatory mites

They reach leaf undersides, buds, and growing media where pests hide and sprays miss, leave no residue, and persist on the crop to keep pests suppressed — a quiet, season-long defense.

How to use them

Use slow-release sachets for continuous canopy protection, bulk and bottle formats for hot spots, and soil mites for thrips pupae and fungus gnat larvae. Release preventatively when humidity favors establishment (often 70–85%).

Frequently asked questions

What do predatory mites eat?

Pest mites (like two-spotted spider mites), thrips eggs and larvae, and other small pests — depending on the species.

Do predatory mites harm plants?

No — they feed only on pests and pollen, never the plant, and fade naturally once prey runs out.

How many predatory mites do I need?

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

Do predatory mites survive after the pests are gone?

Generalists persist on pollen and alternative prey; specialists fade as prey runs out, so reintroduce them if pests return.
