Why Predator Mites?
Using nature’s secret weapon is a much safer, eco-friendly solution to chemical pesticides which are known to pose a risk to the health of humans, and wildlife. Predatory mites are a sustainable, effective solution. They prey on a variety of different pests, controlling their populations without causing any negative effects to your plants, or leaving any residue.
Types of Predator Mites:
- Phytoline, Californiline, Anderline: Targeting every gardener's worst nightmare, the spider mite. These predator mites are expert hunters, controlling infestations and preventing further damage to your plants with ease.
- Thrip Predators: With a voracious appetite, these predator mites provide reliable protection against tiny, destructive thrips.
- Exhibitline: Eradicate fungus gnats today with these predators. They eliminate both adult gnats, and their larvae which prevents future infestations.
- Heterorhabditis: Protect your crops from weevil damage by introducing these predatory mites, which actively seek out and consume weevil eggs and larvae.
- Aphiline: These predator mites are natural enemies of aphids, greenflies, and blackflies, rapidly controlling and keeping their populations under control, whilst safeguarding your plants.
- Adalia & Chrysoperla: Targeting specifically aphid infestations, this variety of predatory mites feeds on aphids at all stages of development, from egg, to adult.
- Encarline & Eretline: These predators effectively control whiteflies, preventing them from feeding on the sap of your plants and further transmitting diseases.
- Cryptoline: Mealybugs are one of the most persistent, troublesome pests to have in your garden. Cryptolaemus species have a voracious appetite for mealybugs, helping you rid your garden of these unwanted pests.
How Predator Mites Work:
In nature, as part of the food chain, predator mites are the natural way of controlling common garden pests. Once they have been released into your garden, greenhouse or tent, they actively seek out their prey, feeding on their eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults. Interrupting the life cycle of the pests prevents infestations from escalating, or coming back, ultimately negating the need for the use of chemical interventions.
Benefits of Using Predator Mites:
- Safe and Natural: Predator mites are proven to be safe for use around children, pets, and beneficial insects, making them the ideal choice for eco-conscious gardeners.
- Effective Pest Control: They provide long-term pest control by targeting all stages of the pest life cycle, from eggs to adults.
- Environmentally Friendly: Unlike chemical pesticides, predator mites do not harm people, pets, the environment, or disrupt the ecosystem in your garden.
- Cost-Effective: Utilising predators in your grow space can save you money by removing the need for expensive chemical pesticides, and preventing crop loss due to pest outbreak.
How to Use Predator Mites:
- Releasing: Follow the recommended guidelines for releasing predator mites into your indoor/outdoor garden, ensuring optimal coverage and distribution.
- Monitoring: Regularly check and monitor your plants for signs of pest activity.
- Maintenance: Provide a suitable environment for the predator mites to thrive, including ample humidity and temperature levels.
- Supplemental Feeding: In some cases, supplemental feeding may be necessary to sustain predator mite populations between pest outbreaks.
