SHIPPED FRESH & QUALITY GUARANTEED Two-Spotted Spider Mite specialist. Performs well in crops where relative humidity remains above 65%. As the first predatory mite used in pest ma nagement, Persimilis is renowned for its ferocity as a Type I predator, preying exclusively on webbing spider mites. Recognizable by their long front legs and red bodies, Persimilis can devour up to 35 food units daily while laying 4-7 eggs themselves. However, specific conditions, including consistent 70% relative humidity within the plant canopy, are necessary for their eggs to hatch and establish a reproducing population, which may not suit all growers. Persimilis proves effective in targeting "hot spots" within crops experiencing higher infestations of webbing spider mites, swiftly diminishing localized infestations and making them ideal for targeted applications.
