Neoseiulus Californicus Predatory Mite Sachets are built for hot, dry environments where other predators stall. This product uses Amblyseius californicus and releases a slow, steady supply of eggs, juveniles, and adults over 2–4 weeks. It won’t wipe out an active infestation overnight, but it helps prevent resurgence when climate works against you. Use it for spider mite prevention in high-heat, low-humidity settings.

These sachets target spider mites (Tetranychus urticae, T. cinnabarinus), broad mites, russet mites, and other small mite pests, with broad mites being especially managed under low-pressure conditions. They perform best at temperatures 68–90°F (optimally above 85°F) and in lower humidity (40–60%). If you’re already facing an outbreak, start with Persimilis Bottles for fast knockdown and Special Blend Bottles for broader mite issues, then follow with californicus sachets to hold the line long-term. Do not open sachets; hang near the canopy away from mist lines or direct irrigation; reapply every 2–4 weeks based on climate and pest risk.
