FELTIcontrol (Feltiella acarisuga)

Main targets: Two-spotted spider mite

Application rate: 0.25–1 per m² (preventative), up to 25 per m² (curative)

Delivery: Order by 5pm Wednesday for delivery the following week

Specialist Mite Control Where Others Fall Short

When spider mites bunker deep into webbing or leafy crop zones, FELTIcontrol brings the precision you need. It contains Feltiella acarisuga, a spider mite predator whose larvae specialise in tracking and feeding on mites in their densest colonies.

Rather than sweeping the canopy, Feltiella larvae dig into hotspots – working through webbing, targeting eggs, and steadily clearing the issue from the inside. This makes them ideal for glasshouses, tunnels, and indoor propagation units where mite pressure builds out of sight.

Used early or alongside generalist predators like Amblyseius species, FELTIcontrol adds depth to your IPM approach – offering both immediate suppression and long-term balance without chemical sprays.

Best for:

• Webbed or hard-to-reach spider mite infestations
• Glasshouse ornamentals, strawberries, and dense leafy crops
• Growers aiming to avoid or reduce miticide use

How to apply:

Apply 0.25–1 per m² preventatively, or up to 25 per m² if mites are already present. Target known trouble spots and avoid recent pesticide use to aid establishment.

AMBLYCAcontrol (Amblyseius californicus) – Rugged Mite Control for Heat-Stressed Crops

Spider mites love a dry spell. Give them a bit of warmth, a dip in humidity, and they’ll take over – quickly, quietly, and thoroughly. If your crop’s feeling the pressure, AMBLYCAcontrol brings in some serious backup.

Inside you’ve got Amblyseius californicus – gritty, mobile predators that don’t sit around waiting for trouble. They wander the crop like scouts, ducking into folds and creases, feeling out where the pests are hiding and picking off mite eggs and young stages before anything kicks off.

They come into their own in the tricky spots – where irrigation’s tight, the leaves run warm, and chemical sprays just aren’t on the cards. And when the pest pressure dips, they don’t bail. They stick with the crop and keep things calm.

You’ll also get a hand against tarsonemid mites – those tiny, twisty pests that often show up late and do their damage in silence. Californicus keeps them in check, too.

Best for:

• Heat-stressed crops or low-irrigation zones where spider mites thrive
• Quiet tarsonemid or spider mite build-up in greenhouses, tunnels, or indoor grows
• Growers cutting down on miticides or managing delicate, flowering crops
• IPM systems needing even, consistent control without overreaction

How to apply:

Start with 25–50 mites per square metre to keep pest levels steady. If you’re reacting to an outbreak, go up to 200 per m². Early morning or late evening works best – keep it cool and avoid using after any recent sprays that might knock them off balance.

ANDERcontrol (Amblyseius andersoni) – Versatile Mite for Multi-Pest Pressure

Not all pests stick to one spot – or even one species. In many glasshouses and tunnels, spider mites, thrips, whitefly, and tarsonemids turn up together, hitting hard and fast across different stages of growth.

ANDERcontrol brings in Amblyseius andersoni – a steady, generalist predator that plays a crucial role in early control. It doesn’t crash in like a blitz. Andersoni gets in early, blends into the crop, and just gets on with it – even when there’s barely a pest in sight. You’ll often forget it’s there – until you realise things haven’t flared up like they usually do.

You might catch a glimpse of them ducking between the leaves, quietly working through spider mite eggs, thrips nymphs, whitefly larvae, and whatever other soft-bodied hangers-on they come across.

They’re a great fit for propagation setups, young ornamentals, and growing areas where you’ve got several pests bubbling under the surface – but nothing explosive yet.

Because andersoni does well in mild, shifting conditions, it works especially well in crops that dislike high heat or sudden stress. It also partners neatly with other biocontrols for growers running a layered, responsive IPM strategy.

Best for:

• Telltale signs of spider mite, thrips, or whitefly creeping in under cover
• Preventative control in propagation zones or ornamental crops
• Mixed pest pressure in cooler or fluctuating temperatures
• IPM setups needing a steady, multi-pest predator without peak-and-crash cycles

How to apply:

Apply at 25–100 mites per square metre as a preventative measure. For higher pressure, increase to 250 mites per m². Distribute directly into the crop canopy during low light, and avoid recent use of broad-spectrum pesticides.

PHYTOcontrol (Phytoseiulus persimilis) – The Red Mite That Fights Back

Noticed a few pale flecks on the leaves? Or maybe some fine, silky threads where they shouldn’t be? That’s often your first sign spider mites have found their way in. Left to it, they’ll multiply fast and start draining the life out of your crop before you’ve had time to blink.

What you’ll find in PHYTOcontrol is Phytoseiulus persimilis – a fiery little predator that doesn’t mess about. These red mites aren’t just quick on their feet – they’re specialists. They hunt down two-spotted spider mites wherever they hide, biting through eggs, nymphs, and adults alike.

Get them in early and they’ll get cracking straight away. You won’t need to do much – they spread through the crop on their own, and when spider mite numbers are high, they multiply just as fast.

They really come into their own in enclosed, slightly steamy setups like glasshouses or grow tunnels – places where spraying could cause more problems than it solves.

A solid choice for:

• Spider mite blow-ups in polytunnels, propagation rooms, or indoor setups
• Fragile crops where spraying isn’t a good idea – soft fruit, ornamentals, and the like
• Growers who’ve had enough of re-entry times, residues, or chasing withdrawal periods
• IPM systems that need fast, pest-specific reinforcements without chemical disruption

How to apply:

Start with 5 to 10 mites per square metre if you’re staying ahead of the game – or go heavier, up to 100 per m², when the mites have already made themselves at home. Early morning or just before dusk tends to be best. Hold off on the sprays around release time – they won’t appreciate a chemical welcome.

DIGLYcontrol (Diglyphus isaea) – Fast-Acting Leaf Miner Control for Protected Crops

Leaf miners can wreak havoc on young plants – cutting through leaf tissue, reducing growth, and leaving unsightly trails that knock saleability and performance. DIGLYcontrol offers a precise, natural way to shut them down early, without relying on chemical sprays.

Inside each bottle is Diglyphus isaea, a tiny parasitic wasp that moves fast. Unlike other species that lay inside the larvae, Diglyphus paralyses the leaf miner and lays its egg beside it. The developing wasp larva then feeds externally – finishing the pest off in the process. It’s a quick, effective route to control, and one that slots easily into any biological programme.

Once released, these wasps immediately search for activity in the leaf. They work best when leaf miners are already present in low numbers – making them ideal for curative use or where outbreaks are spotted early.

Some growers alternate or combine Diglyphus with Dacnusa sibirica for more layered control – especially where multiple miner species are present.

Best for use in:

• Ornamentals and greenhouse crops suffering from active leaf miner infestations
• Systems where visible leaf damage affects salability or market access
• Growers needing fast, chemical-free relief from minor outbreaks
• Use alongside yellow sticky traps to monitor presence and reduce adults

How to apply:

Use at a guide rate of 0.5 wasps per square metre. Apply during active leaf miner presence, ideally in warm, still conditions. Avoid applying broad-spectrum pesticides before or after release.

Delivery note:

This is a live, temperature-sensitive product. To ensure best viability, place orders before 5pm Wednesday for delivery the following week.

DACNUcontrol (Dacnusa sibirica) – Natural Leaf Miner Control for Protected Crops

Leaf miners can catch you off guard – leaving pale trails in the foliage, weakening young plants, and causing cosmetic damage that’s hard to reverse. DACNUcontrol gives growers a clean, reliable way to fight back, without reaching for the spray lance.

What’s inside the bottle? A tiny but tough little wasp called Dacnusa sibirica. It’s nature’s answer to leaf miner infestations. Instead of chasing pests with chemicals, Dacnusa quietly patrols the crop, finding leaf miner larvae and laying its eggs right inside them. The larvae don’t make it much further after that.

As soon as they’re released, these wasps get straight to work – settling into the crop and blending into the canopy like they’ve always belonged there. They’re especially handy in greenhouses, propagation tunnels, or anywhere sprays don’t quite cut it. The trick is timing: you’ll get the best results by introducing them early, before the miners get deep into the leaf or start to pupate.

They work well on their own, but many growers team them with Diglyphus isaea or sticky traps for broader, more sustained control.

Best used for:

• Ornamental or edible crops where leaf miner damage needs fast response
• Protected systems where foliage appearance or vigour is critical
• Growers aiming to reduce insecticide use in tight or sensitive crops
• Sites using preventative or early-stage IPM programmes

How to apply:

Use at roughly 0.25 - 0.5 wasps per square metre. Apply preventatively or at the very first sign of leaf miner activity. Avoid spraying broad-spectrum insecticides before or just after release, and use sticky traps to monitor how well they’re establishing.

Order note:

These are live insects, packed fresh and shipped to order. For guaranteed following week delivery, place your order by 5pm Wednesday.

Carnation Tortrix (Pheromone capsules) - Targeted monitoring for carnation tortrix moths

ROBUScontrol (Macrocheles robustulus) – Fast-Moving Compost Mites for Fungus Gnat and Shorefly Larvae

Fungus gnats and shoreflies can quietly undermine a crop from below – disrupting roots, reducing vigour, and opening the door to disease. When larvae are already present in the compost, ROBUScontrol brings in an aggressive, soil-active predator that’s built for the job.

Each tube contains thousands of Macrocheles robustulus – a fast-moving predatory mite that targets sciarid and shorefly larvae where they live: in the growing media. These mites don’t wait around. They quickly get to work, hunting through the compost and feeding directly on pest stages before they mature.

ROBUScontrol is especially well suited to propagation units, container-grown crops, and greenhouse production areas where moisture and organic matter attract pests below the surface. It’s best used curatively when infestations are visible, or as a booster to other soil-level biologicals already in place.

Because they operate entirely in the root zone, these mites pose no disruption to crop activity above ground and can be combined with foliar beneficials as part of a full IPM approach.

Best suited to:

• Growers seeing visible signs of sciarid or shorefly larvae in compost
• Propagation zones, plug trays, or pots where outbreaks can quickly escalate
• Crops where soil drenches or sprays aren’t reaching the problem
• IPM programmes looking to reinforce compost-level control

How to apply:

Apply up to 500 mites per square metre, depending on pest pressure. Scatter evenly across moist compost and avoid immediate overhead irrigation. These mites prefer humid, shaded conditions – ideally above 15°C.

Delivery note:

ROBUScontrol is a live, temperature-sensitive product. To ensure optimal viability, please place orders by 5pm Wednesday for delivery the following week.

HYPOcontrol miles (Stratiolaelaps scimitus) – Soil-Dwelling Predators for Fungus Gnat Larvae

When young plants start flagging and you’ve ruled out the obvious, it’s time to think below the surface. Fungus gnat (sciarid) larvae are a hidden problem in many propagation areas – chewing roots, damaging stems, and opening the door to disease. HYPOcontrol miles gives you a natural, no-fuss way to clear them out.

Each tube contains thousands of Stratiolaelaps scimitus – tiny soil-dwelling mites that hunt through the compost in search of larvae and eggs. They live in the root zone, where the pests are, and feed on a range of soft-bodied stages, including fungus gnat larvae and other small soil pests.

These predators are well suited to propagation, plug trays, container crops, and any covered system where moisture stays high and soil pests are hard to reach. Once introduced, they get straight to work – and because they live in the substrate, they offer steady, long-term protection without affecting your crop schedule.

Best for use in:

• Propagation benches, plug trays, and pots prone to sciarid outbreaks
• Environments where foliar sprays can’t reach root zone pests
• Growers using peat-free or organic substrates vulnerable to fungus gnats
• IPM programmes focused on biological soil pest suppression

How to apply:

Apply 100–200 mites per square metre for routine protection, or up to 500 per m² where larvae are already causing damage. Distribute directly onto damp compost and avoid overhead watering immediately after release.

Delivery note:

This is a live product. To ensure fresh arrival, place orders by 5pm Wednesday for delivery the following week.
