Description

Anystis baccarum, otherwise known as the Crazee Mite or Whirligig Mite has quickly become popular among growers, revolutionizing the world of supplemental bio-control agents. Featuring a large size, impressive speed, and an eye-catching red shade, this beneficial mite has gained unprecedented popularity. With a rapid reproduction rate and natural appetite for pests like aphids, thrips and spider mites, the Crazee Mite can provide effective, long lasting protection with no harsh chemical application necessary. Adults immediately start laying eggs upon introduction into a crop so you will soon witness them devouring hundreds of small prey daily and targeting larger pests with great effectiveness. For growers seeking the best protection from pests without resorting to hazardous chemicals or costly measures – look no further than Anystis baccarum – the Crazee Mite!

Application Instructions

Anystis baccarum is shipped at different developmental stages. Adults are shipped in their final pupal stage so that they can emerge as hungry adults upon arrival. Use immediately upon receipt.

These mites are delicate; they must be given time to emerge and start moving. For this reason, we recommend releasing them in a central location with an optimal temperature of 24 °C and humidity above 70%. Broadcasting the contents over several spots is also an option.

Preventive application rates* generally range from 5 to 10 individuals per m², and 10 to 30 individuals per m² for light to severe infestations. Introductions should be performed 1–2 times per season. Reapply as needed until pest control is achieved.

*Introduction rates may vary depending on specific crop conditions, the type of pest present, and the level of infestation.

Storage Instructions

Use upon receipt.

Do not refrigerate or freeze.
