For trays or liners, put one sachet on a stick in the middle of each one (you can often use one sachet for every other tray\/liner if they are touching).

Sachets last up to 5 weeks, and the week number is printed on the back. If a sachet is less than five weeks old, simply leave it in the plant — sachets are water-resistant and the mites reproduce inside and exit through a tiny hole.

Apply sachets as soon as possible. Do not store sachets in a refrigerator, air-conditioned room, or cooler — these conditions dry them out and ruin them. If storage is unavoidable, hold sachets around 60°F, keep humidity high, and open the box so carbon dioxide does not build up and kill the mites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonitoring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Check plants for decreasing populations of thrips larvae and whitefly.
