Tiny predators with a specific pest-control role
Predatory mites are beneficial living organisms used in biological pest control. Different species are selected according to the pest they are intended to target.
Some predatory mites are used against spider mites, while others can form part of biological control programmes for pests such as thrips. The correct choice depends on the pest, infestation stage and growing conditions.
Temperature and other environmental conditions can affect how suitable an individual predatory mite product is, so always check the specific Milbies product instructions before release.
