Each bottle contains only live adult mites, ready to hunt as soon as released. Amblyseius cucumeris targets the thrips larval stage—the point where the most damage happens—hunting larvae under leaves, in canopy gaps, and around new growth. This is not a slow-release system; it’s a precision strike for active infestations, particularly effective in cooler grow environments.

This product targets thrips larvae and broad mites, plus cyclamen mites, rust mites, spider mite eggs and early-stage nymphs, with russet mites receiving limited control. For adult thrips, pair with Orius insidiosus to close the lifecycle. It thrives at 54–80°F with moderate humidity and is not a slow-release system. Apply by sprinkling directly onto infested leaves or canopy zones; suppression is often visible in 2–5 days. Use weekly in high-pressure zones or as a first strike before switching to slow-release sachets for maintenance.
