Amblyseius cucumeris Sachets – Natural Thrip Preventative System

Effective, chemical-free protection against thrips – ideal for greenhouses, grow tents, and indoor plants.

Say goodbye to thrip damage with our Amblyseius cucumeris Sachets – a powerful and natural way to prevent thrip infestations before they start. These slow-release sachets contain breeding colonies of Amblyseius cucumeris predatory mites, which actively target and consume the larvae of thrip species.

If you’ve noticed yellowing leaves, leaf distortion, or tiny moving pests like the ones shown in the photos, you’re likely dealing with thrips – so don’t wait to act.

Why Use Amblyseius cucumeris?

Thrips are one of the most common and damaging pests in indoor plant setups and greenhouses. They feed by piercing plant tissue, leaving behind silvery streaks, distorted growth, and black specks. Once established, they are hard to reach with sprays—but Amblyseius cucumeris mites are small enough to find them and stop their lifecycle in its tracks.

These natural predators:

  • Target thrip eggs and larvae

  • Break the pest lifecycle before adults form

  • Survive on flower pollen when pests aren’t present

  • Provide continuous protection for up to 6 weeks

  • Are safe for people, pets, and pollinators

🪴 How to Use the Sachets

  • Hang 1–2 sachets per plant (based on 1m height) or per  1-2 m²

  • Replace every 6-8 weeks for consistent prevention

  • Ideal temperature: 15–25°C | Ideal humidity: 70%+

  • Use immediately upon arrival – not suitable for storage

  • Avoid recent use of chemical sprays or insecticides

Each sachet features a pre-cut release hole and hook for easy application directly onto your plants. The mites will emerge gradually, moving across leaves and flowers in search of prey.

🪴️ When to Apply

  • Use preventatively throughout the year indoors

  • Outdoors: Introduce from mid-May or earlier in warm climates

  • Perfect for propagation, early growth, and mature plants

  • Apply before thrips appear or at the first sign of damage

How should I apply the sachets to my indoor plants for optimal results?
Hang 1–2 sachets per plant, depending on the plant’s height (about 1m). Place them where thrip activity is observed or anticipated, ensuring they are distributed evenly across your plant collection for comprehensive coverage.
Can these sachets be used in terrariums or with moss poles?
Yes, these sachets are suitable for use in terrariums and on moss poles. The predatory mites will actively seek out thrip larvae in these environments as well, providing effective control within enclosed or compact spaces.
Are there any precautions I should take when using these sachets in conjunction with other pest treatments?
Avoid using chemical sprays or insecticides shortly before or after applying the sachets, as these can harm the predatory mites and reduce the effectiveness of the biological control system.
