Please Note: All our biological pest control options are special order items since they are alive and would rapidly loose effectivity if stored for longer than a few days. Due to this, Predators are ordered specially for you from the manufacturer so there is a slower delivery on this item with an average lead time of 7 days.

What Are Spidex Predator Mites?

Spidex Predator Mites is a Spider Mite predator larvae product aimed at attacking spider mite infestations.

Spider Mite nymphs (young) and adults feed on plant cells, removing chlorophyll, which is necessary for the plant to maintain proper metabolic processes. Yellowing of the leaf will occur in smaller infestations, while plants may die in the worst cases.

Predator Mites are the natural enemy of spider mites. They feed on spider mites, reducing numbers until all mites are killed, at which point the predatory mites migrate off the plant.

What Do Spidex Predator Mites Target?

Spidex Predator Mites target the common two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae). They attack all stages, but prefer the younger mites.
The predatory mite can only survive on two spotted spider mites (Tetranychus spp.).
