Californicus (Neoseiulus californicus) is a predatory mite supplied by Bugs for Bugs. It works across the foliage feeding on pest mites at all stages, and copes with lower humidity better than most predatory mites.

What it controls

Two-spotted spider mite, broad mite and cyclamen mite.

Options

  • Tube — 10,000 mites. Sprinkled over the crop.
  • Sachets — pack of 10. Slow release: hang one per plant and mites emerge over several weeks.

Release rates

  • Preventative: 10–25 mites/m², three releases 2–3 weeks apart
  • Curative: 50–100 mites/m², every 1–2 weeks as needed
  • Hotspots: 100–200 mites/m², every 1–2 weeks as needed

Storage

Release as soon as possible after delivery. Tubes can be held on their side for up to three days at 10–18°C.

Ordered fresh for you

We don't keep live insects sitting on a shelf. When you place an order we bring them in from the insectary, then repack and dispatch them the same day they reach us, with cool packs. Allow around a week door to door, and release them as soon as they arrive.
