Main uses

Amblyseius californicus predators can be released from our breeder sachets. Hang these from your plants and enjoy prolonged and preventative control over Spider Mite. 3. A Predator To Use In Cooler Conditions: Amblyseius andersoni

Foil sachets ensure the breeding system is better protected against environmental conditions such as; temperature variations, dampness from watering, changes in humidity and so forth.Friese D.D. and Gilstrap F.E. 1985.
