The females have exceptional hunting behavior, seeking out spider mite colonies to lay their eggs right beside the prey — so the next generation of larvae starts feeding immediately. Feltiella controls all stages of spider mites and works especially well in hot spots and dense canopies where predatory mites are harder to deploy. Use it in ornamentals, hemp\/cannabis, vegetable crops, soft fruits, and tree nurseries, in greenhouses, indoor facilities, fields, and gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it targets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTwo-Spotted Spider Mite (\u003cem\u003eTetranychus urticae\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eCarmine Mite (\u003cem\u003eTetranychus cinnabarinus\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOther spider mite species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCrops it supports\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOrnamentals, hemp\/cannabis, vegetable crops, soft fruits, and tree nurseries — in greenhouses, indoor facilities, fields, and gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Feltiella acarisuga controls spider mites\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eFemale midges hunt for spider mite colonies and lay their eggs next to them, laying around 30 eggs over five days. The eggs hatch in less than two days, and the larvae begin feeding on spider mites right away. Because Feltiella controls all stages of spider mites and the females actively seek out colonies, it is well suited to knocking down established hot spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelease Rates\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-table-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"gm-release-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClassification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRelease Information\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePreventative\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.03–0.1 per sq. ft.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCannabis Alert:\u003c\/strong\u003e Release rate suggestions on these pages are usually not sufficient for cannabis growers.
