Phytoseiulus persimilis Treatment Bottles

How Do You Get Rid of Spider Mites—Fast?

If there’s webbing in your canopy, you’re past prevention.
It’s time for something that hunts spider mites now, not next week.

Phytoseiulus persimilis is your go-to specialist for full-blown infestations. These red-orange predatory mites don’t just suppress—they wipe out spider mites at all life stages: eggs, larvae, and adults.

They don’t stop to scout. They dive straight into the webbing and get to work.

Phytoseiulus persimilis Bottles (Live Adults)

Targeted Knockdown for Spider Mite Infestations

Each bottle contains fast-moving adult mites—no eggs, no juveniles, no waiting. As soon as they’re released, they begin feeding and reproducing directly inside mite colonies.

This is a direct-response tool for:

• Two-Spotted Spider Mites (Tetranychus urticae)

• Carmine Red Mites

• Pacific Mites

Best For

• Visible webbing and active spider mite damage

• Infestations that have outpaced prevention

• Warm, humid setups (tents, greenhouses, gardens, and field crops)

• Growers who want results in under a week

Why Bottles?

This is your emergency-response predator—not a slow-release insurance policy.

How They Work

1. Adults begin feeding immediately

2. Females lay eggs near spider mite clusters

3. Eggs hatch in 2–3 days

4. New predators mature in ~7 days

5. Adults live for 20–30 days, continuing suppression as new waves hatch

Visible reduction in spider mite activity can occur in 2–5 days under good conditions.

Application Rates

Apply in the early morning or evening for best results.
Avoid direct watering or overhead misting immediately after release.

Environmental Guidelines

• Temperature: Best at 68–90°F

• Humidity: Needs 60%+ for strong reproduction

• Not cold-tolerant: Avoid if space is under 60°F

• Dry setups? Pair with Neoseiulus californicus for broader climate flexibility

Safe for Everything But Spider Mites

• Non-toxic

• Pet-safe

• Pollinator-safe

• No re-entry interval

• Leaves no residue or damage

These mites want one thing: spider mites. And they don’t stop until the colony collapses.

Pro Tips

• Deploy as soon as webbing appears—earlier is always better

• Don’t spray before or after—residues will kill your persimilis

• Maintain humidity and avoid aggressive airflow

• For lasting control, follow up with slow-release sachets or californicus for broader coverage

• For stacked control, combine with Swirskii if other pests are present

Shipping & Storage

• Ships overnight with live delivery guarantee

• Use immediately on arrival

• If needed, store for up to 24 hours at 45–55°F
