🕷️ What Are Red Spider Mites & Why Prevent Them?

Red spider mites (Tetranychus spp., Panonychus spp.) are tiny sap-feeding pests that thrive in warm, dry environments. They damage plants by feeding on the undersides of leaves, causing yellow speckling, leaf curling, and eventual leaf drop. They are hard to eliminate once established, which is why prevention is key.

How Amblyseius andersoni Work

Amblyseius andersoni mites are widely used in commercial horticulture and are now available for home growers. They are natural predators of:

  • Red spider mites (Tetranychus & Panonychus species)

  • Rust mites, Fuchsia gall mites, Pear blister mites, Boxus mites

  • Thrips and other soft-bodied pests

These mites:

  • Feed on pest eggs, larvae, and adults

  • Survive in temperatures from 6°C to 40°C, ideal for early-season use

  • Tolerate lower humidity better than other predator mites

  • Feed on pollen and spores when pest levels are low

  • Can be used indoors all year round or outdoors from late February

🛑 Best for Prevention or Low-Level Infestations

Amblyseius andersoni is primarily used to prevent spider mite infestations or as an early-season control rather than a treatment for heavy infestations. They are especially useful as mites come out of hibernation in early spring.

If you’re dealing with an existing, large infestation, we recommend using Phytoseiulus persimilis first to knock down numbers, then following up with A. andersoni sachets to maintain control.

🌿 Why Choose Amblyseius andersoni Sachets?
