Limonica Ulti-Mite

Amblydromalus limonicus – Predatory Mite

How It Works: Amblydromalus limonicus hunts and feeds on pests by piercing them with its mouthparts and extracting their internal fluids. The breeder sachets will release predatory mites over a 4-5 week period.

Target Pests:

• Controls eggs and larvae of whiteflies
• Feeds on the larvae of Western Flower Thrips and Onion Thrips
• Feeds on the larvae of Thrips parvispinus (Pepper Thrips)

Best Use: as a preventative or light curative against the above pests when relative humidity is below 75% or above 95% (grow rooms/households). Also ideal for outdoor use or overhead watering conditions.

Shelf Life: within 1-2 days of receipt.

Important Information For Use:

• Do not open sachets upon arrival. They already have a pin-sized hole for predatory mites to exit naturally.
• Do not use Swirski, Thripex, Anso-mite, and Limonica on the same plants at the same time. These are generalist predatory mites, and if applied together, they may attack and eat each other instead of targeting pests. Always choose one type of generalist predatory mite per application.
• Predatory mites are very small—typically 0.3 to 0.6 mm in size. This means they are difficult to spot with the naked eye.
