Spidex Vital – Phytoseiulus persimilis Predatory Mites for Spider Mite Control

Spidex Vital contains live Phytoseiulus persimilis, a highly effective predatory mite used to biologically control spider mites in greenhouse, nursery, and indoor growing environments. These beneficial mites actively seek out and consume all life stages of the destructive two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) and related species, offering a chemical-free solution for pest management.

How It Works
Once released, Phytoseiulus persimilis predatory mites hunt and feed on spider mite eggs, nymphs, and adults by piercing them and extracting the internal fluids — rapidly reducing pest populations through direct predation. Because these mites are specialists, they will efficiently control spider mite outbreaks when introduced early or used preventatively.

Key Features

Targeted biological control: Naturally suppresses two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae).

Live predatory mites: Contains active life stages (eggs, nymphs, adults) for immediate performance.

Chemical-free solution: Ideal for integrated pest management (IPM) and organic cultivation. Visible action: Predatory mites may turn reddish after feeding, a sign they are actively controlling pests.

Recommended Use
Apply Spidex Vital as soon as spider mite pressure is detected or preventatively to keep infestations from establishing. Simply shake the bottle gently, open the dosage hole, and sprinkle the contents onto plant foliage or into distribution boxes (Diboxes). Ensure material stays on leaves for several hours after release for best establishment.

Best Conditions
Optimal performance occurs in moderate temperatures (13–27 °C / 55–81 °F) and higher humidity conditions. Store and apply soon after receipt for best results — do not refrigerate.
