Target Pests: Thrips Larvae & Whiteflies
Description: Swirskii mites feed primarily on thrips larvae but can also be used to treat whiteflies. They perform well at temperatures above 85 degrees (where cucumeris mites begin to struggle) and can be used for both active infestations and preventatively.
Indoor Life Expectancy: 14-20 days
Plants Treated:
25k: approx. 20-35
50k: approx. 70-80
Application: The bottle contains mites in a bran and 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. Swirskii mites and cucumeris mites should NOT be used together because they will prey on each other instead of the pests!
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.
