Target Pests: Spider Mites & Flat Mites
Description: Californicus mites are versatile predators of a variety of pest mites. They prefer spider mite species, but will also eat flat mites, broad mites, and cyclamen mites. They can be used for both active infestations and preventatively.
Indoor Life Expectancy: 7-14 days
Plants Treated:
5k: approx. 20-35
25k: approx. 50-60
Application: The bottle contains mites in a vermiculite substrate, and you pour the contents onto the soil of your plants. It’s a great choice for active pest issues because it provides a large amount of predators up front (rather than small amounts over time, like in a sachet) to more effectively knock down pest populations.
Tip: If growing in pon, leca, or other semi-hydro setups, pour the substrate onto a small cardboard platform or into a release box rather than directly onto the growing medium for easier cleanup.
