Spider Mite

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.
