Show Notes

This week we had the opportunity to sit down with Andrew Maltby of Benemite (@Biotactics on instagram) to learn more about predatory mites like: Neoseiulus Californicus, Neoseiulus Fallacis, Galendromus Occidentalis and Persimilis.

Benemite is one of the only US based insectaries providing the most effective predatory mites because they're bred and fed only their target prey: spider mites.

Topics and questions discussed:

  1. What is the right predatory mite to use for my environment?
  2. How do I figure out how many predator mites to use for my pest issue?
  3. Why is there such a big cost difference between predatory mites - like californicus, fallacis, occidentalis and persimilis?
  4. Can Russet mites be effectively controlled?
  5. How to identify the damage of different spider mite species
  6. What are common mistakes when implementing predatory mites like Californicus, Fallacis, Occidentalis or Persimilis?
