Stethorus punctillum is a specialized spider mite predator in the lady beetle family. It feeds on Two-Spotted Spider Mites (Tetranychus urticae), European Red Mites (Panonychusulmi), Spruce Spider Mites (Oligonycus ununguis) and Southern Red Mites (Oligonychus ilicis). As a natural predator, it helps clean up spider mite hotspots in greenhouses, interior plantscapes, and nurseries.

Application rates by infestation level are: Preventative: 1 beetle per 20 square feet; Moderate infestation: 1 beetle per 5 square feet; Heavy infestation: 1 beetle per 2 square feet. For best results, store at 50-59 °F (10-15 °C) and release in the infested area. Monitor spider mite populations and repeat releases if necessary. Release timing is early morning or late evening; open the container and shake beetles onto foliage near infestations, then place the container upright among plants to release remaining adults.
