For effective use of Amblyseius swirskii, bulk applications and slow-release sachets are available. When applying in bulk, simply mix them with a substrate and sprinkle them onto the plants (leaves) where you see the pests. It is also possible to use waterproof sachets that contain predatory mites as well as flour and bran, acting as an incubation sachet that gradually produces predators over a period of up to 6 weeks, depending on the conditions.
