Neoseiulus cucumeris preys on the larvae of thrips and other pests, consuming them before they can mature into damaging adult stages. This interrupts the pest life cycle and helps control their population.

While specifically targeted at managing thrips larvae, Neoseiulus cucumeris can also help control other small pests such as spider mites under certain conditions. However, its primary efficacy is against various thrips species.

Neoseiulus cucumeris should be distributed evenly across the affected area, particularly on the undersides of leaves where thrips are most likely to be found. For best results, apply early in the pest infestation cycle.

Application rates depend on the level of thrips infestation and the type of crop.

Typically, light to moderate infestations require around 50 to 100 predatory mites per square meter, with higher rates for severe infestations.

The best time to introduce Neoseiulus cucumeris is at the first sign of thrips activity or even preventatively if thrips are a known issue in the area. Consistent monitoring and early intervention are key to success.

While Neoseiulus cucumeris is best used in a chemical-free environment, it can tolerate some low-toxicity pesticides. Always check compatibility before combining biological and chemical controls. Contact Us for more information!

Yes, Neoseiulus cucumeris are safe for plants, pets, and humans. They are a natural part of the ecosystem and target only specific pest species without harming non-target organisms.

Visible results can vary, but reductions in pest populations are generally observed within 2-4 weeks after application, depending on the initial infestation level and environmental conditions.
