Predatory mites are effective in controlling various pests.
– Predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis controls Red spider mites (Tetranychus urticae). This predatory mite is bright red and very mobile. She is only half a mm in size. Commercially available.
– Predatory mite Amblyseius californicus or Neoseiulus californicus controls all stages of spider mites and is therefore effective in preventing a spider mite infestation.
– Predatory mite Amblyseius andersoni is a natural enemy of the Boxwood bud mite (Phytophus canestrinii).
– Predatory mite Stratiolaelaps scimitus lives in the upper soil and controls a wide range of insects: including thrips pupae and larvae, sciarid flies, springtails and roundworms.
Predatory mites are also effective against mosquito larvae.
