Description: Predatory mites: Phytoseiulus persimilis Packaging: 100 ml bottle with dosage-plug, containing 2,000 adults. Each bottle contains adults and nymphs mixed with wood-chips. When to use Spidex Vital? Use Spidex for biological pest control of two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae). Spidex works well on all the life cycle stages of the two-spotted spider mite but prefers younger stages most. Use Spidex preventatively and at the first sign of pest presence. How does Spidex Vital work? Phytoseiulus persimilis feeds on all stages of spider mites, but has a preference for eggs. The predatory mites pierce the eggs and consume the contents. Adult Phytoseiulus persimilis also attack adult spider mites but the smaller development stages only feed on smaller prey stages. The larvae do not eat. The predatory mite can only survive on two spotted spider mites (Tetranychus spp.)
