Features:

• Spider mites are often found on the undersides of plant leaves.
• Spider mites are also called “webspinning mites" and they are common in North America.
• They attack both indoor and outdoor plants. They are most common in hot, dry conditions, especially where their natural enemies have been killed off by insecticide use.
• Phytoseiulus Persimillis are bright reddish orange mites (0.5 mm) that feed on two-spotted spider mites. Persimilis need greater than 60% relative humidity.
• To increase the humidity, mist plants or wet walkways. The New Zealand Strain prefers higher temperatures along with greater humidity.
