Amblyseius Fallacis - "One of the best overall mite predators!"

 

Temperature range
40°– 100° Fahrenheit, 60% – 90% Relative Humidity.

Adult
Cream colored, pear shaped mite, that is very active.

Eggs
Egg to adult is rapid – 8 days, and they can lay up to 100 eggs.

Feeds on
Mites, especially Red, Two-spotted, European, Spruce and Strawberry Mites, also pollen.

Shipped
On leaves as adults, immatures and eggs, or in vermiculite as adults and immatures.

Release Rates
Upon arrival when temperature is above 55° Fahrenheit. 10,000 per acre.

Note: Excellent for outdoor use. At temperatures below 50° Fahrenheit they will feed but won't produce. Slower consumer of mites but once established after 2 – 3 releases, will provide a continuous control. Can survive solely on pollen, thus preventing a future mite problem. They are adapted to tolerate pyrethrins and pyrethoids. Will overwinter and establish themselves almost anywhere.
