Amblyseius cucumeris Sachets provide preventative pest control for thrips larvae and several mites on houseplants. Each sachet contains live Amblyseius cucumeris in all life stages—eggs, juveniles, and adults—that emerge over time and feed on small, soft-bodied pests. This fixed-release tool delivers 3–5 weeks of coverage before replacement and does not establish long-term populations in your crop. Because cucumeris feed on the larval stage of thrips—not adults—these sachets are designed for prevention rather than rapid knockdown of active outbreaks.

For use, place 1 sachet per plant for individual plants; 1 sachet every 6 feet for a preventive perimeter; and 1 sachet per plant or every 3–4 feet on high-risk crops. Start sachets 5–7 days after bottle release and replace every 3–5 weeks. Do not open the sachet; hang near foliage above the watering line and keep out of heavy mist zones or direct irrigation. Best conditions are 66–80°F with moderate to high humidity, and they are suitable for both natural and artificial grow lights. If conditions are dry or variable, consider a Plus style sachet for improved release consistency.
