These predatory mites should be introduced preventatively, before thrips are present. They actively search for their prey, thrip eggs and larvae. They can move over considerable distances and may destroy 2-3 larvae a day. Females lay 2-3 eggs per day. When thrips aren't present, they can survive on pollen, but prefer humidity of 65% or better. General use rate is 25-250 + per plant. For monitoring and trapping thrips, use Blue Sticky Traps (P130)
