Target Pests: Thrips Larvae & Broad Mites
Description: Cucumeris mites are the industry standard thrips predators, as they feed on young thrips larvae. They can also be used to treat broad mites and as prevention against spider mites and flat mites.
Indoor Life Expectancy: 14-20 days
Plants Treated:
20k: approx. 20-35
50k: approx. 70-80
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.
