Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Hypoaspis miles) – Predatory Mite

How It Works: Stratiolaelaps scimitus hunts and feeds on soil pests by piercing them with its mouthparts and extracting their internal fluids. The reduction of the infestation level occurs at a slow but steady rate. 

Target Pests:

• Controls eggs and larvae of Fungus Gnats (Sciarid Flies)
• Controls pupae of the Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) and Onion Thrips (Thrips tabaci) 

Best Use:

• Suitable for preventative and curative control for the listed pests.
• Use alongside yellow Horiver cards to trap adult Fungus Gnats (Sciarid Flies), Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis), and Onion Thrips (Thrips tabaci). 
• For thrips control, combine this product with Thripor and a thrips predatory mite like Swirski for the best results. 

Shelf Life: within 1-2 days of receipt.
