Spider Mite Predator Bottles
Note: We cannot guarantee next day delivery for this item. As Spider Mite Predators are living organisms, they’re only delivered to us on Wednesday and sold on a 'first come, first served' basis.
Halt the bug invasion! Treat Spider Mite infestations with their natural predators.
Each bottle contains small, orange-red predatory mites that snack on Spider Mites.
These predators are harmless to plants, but they actively hunt, attack and eliminate spider mites. They’ve been used to fight infestations for over 45 years!
Just remember that these mites are used to treat infestations. To prevent infestations, use Spider Mite Predator Sachets instead.
• Spider Mite Predators (phytoseiulus persimilis)
• Used to treat infestations
• Harmless to plants
• Used for over 45 years!
How To Use
- Veg: 5 - 10 mites per m2
- Flowering: 10 - 20 mites per m2
Sprinkle the contents around your room and leave the open bottle at the base of plants.
It can take up to 16 hours for predators to become active. In flowering, when there's less light, some predators may stay in hybernation, which is why you need twice the amount of predators you'd use in veg.
Note: We only recommend having this item shipped to mainland UK locations. We cannot guarantee the live predators would survive when being shipped to offshore locations.
Questions & Answers

I have a red spider mite infested greenhouse. I’ve removed all the plants in bin bags and thrown them away. The little buggers are still reproducing like mad though. Do I need to have plants in there for these predators to survive? Or will it work without plants in there?
If all of your plants are out of the space then we would suggest using a sulpur burner of fumer to fully fumigate the space. Live predators can survive wherever their food source is present, but in your case we would suggest a more aggressive and fast solution would be sulphur. When you replant, we would suggest using spider mite predator sachets from the very start to prevent re-infestation.

Does this work even if I have used other sprays like ‘Rose clear’ and Neem oil ?
Predators can be introduced after spraying with insecticides, but you must give enough of a gap (5-7 days) or the predator bugs will simply be killed by the residual bug sprays.
