The Koppert Swirski-Mite Plus contains predatory mites that can be used for a wide variety of salad and ornamental crops except for tomatoes. It can kill various young larvae of thrip species and eggs and larvae of whitefly for both Trialeurodes vaporariorum and Bemisa tabaci. It's not susceptible to diapause so it can be used during the winter season. It's also tolerant to high temperature and starts developing when temperature exceeds 68-72 F (20-22 C). Once these predatory mites catch their prey, they will suck them dry until the pest mites die. Product comes in a sachet container with 250 predatory mites and storage mites.

Most miticides like Forbid 4F Ornamental Insecticide Miticide have a residual of about 7-10 days so you should wait that long before applying the Koppert Swirski-Mite Plus (Amblyesius swirskii).

I ordered this for spider mites, does it work for that? I got a box of a 100 as one site says kills them, one say they target other things
Koppert Swirski-Mite Plus (Amblyesius swirskii) states on our product page that it is only labeled to control Young larvae of various thrips species and eggs and larvae of whiteflies (both Trialeurodes vaporariorum and Bemisa tabaci). We cannot confirm nor recommend it for anything off label such as spider mites.
