Description
Stratiolaelaps scimitus is a powerful biocontrol agent in horticulture, bird farms and even reptile/amphibian enclosures. This predatory mite species works diligently to reduce populations of thrips, root mealybugs and aphids while also preying on small pests found in the soil. When used as part of an Integrated Pest Management program it can provide up to 30% reduction among local thrips population during peak season! For optimal pest management outcomes, pair with Neoseiulus cucumeris, Amblyseius swirskii.
