Amblyseius swirskii is widely considered the most powerful and versatile predatory mite available to the modern grower. It is a high-metabolism generalist that doesn't just wait for pests—it actively hunts them down. While other mites specialize in one specific bug, Swirskii is a multi-threat predator that consumes massive amounts of Thrips, Whiteflies, and microscopic mites. The bottle format is designed for "Total Canopy Saturation," providing an immediate presence of thousands of hunters.

Also eats	Pollen. Sustains the population between prey and after the infestation clears
Won't touch	Adult thrips, adult whitefly, aphids, mealybugs, scale, fungus gnats, anything below the soil line
Where it works	Upper canopy and new growth. It's a foliar mite — it won't go into the soil

Humidity	60% RH and up. Below that, egg hatch drops off
Establishes	Yes, given warmth and pollen or prey
Deploy	Immediately on arrival. Loose mites can't be held
Application	Sprinkle directly onto foliage, concentrating on new growth and infested leaves. Rotate the bottle gently before and during application to keep mites distributed through the carrier

Refrigerate	No
