Spider Mite Control:​ ​ Mighty Mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis): Persimilis is the only species of mite that will actually go into webbing to feed on spider mites and get your pest problem under control! It is the best, but also fussy, and needs relatively high humidity (60%) and is not at all compatible with pesticides. ​ 1,000 Mites (22750): $56.00 on vermiculite (for areas ~500 square feet) Buy 3 or more: $40.00 2,000 Mites (22751): $76.00 on vermiculite - smaller "hot spot" vial (for areas ~500-1000 sq. feet) Buy 3 or more: $60.00 (Ordering Help: it is better to buy 1 bottle of P.p. per room, as it is almost impossible to divide up a bottle evenly between separate growing areas) 3,000 Mites (22752): $92.00 on bean leaves (contain pest spider mites) (>1000sq.ft) Buy 3 or more: $75.00

Hot Mites (N. fallacis): It's never a bad idea to introduce fallacis alongside persimilis, as this mite will stick around and feed on pollen while preventing spider mites from re-establishing. They're a one-time introduction, and will feed on a variety of pest mites, and can be used indoors and outdoors, on conifer hedges, berries, and bamboo, for example. You can divide up the fallacis between different rooms, which you cannot with persimlis. ​ 500 Mites (22701): $45.00 on vermiculite. suited for areas up to 2500 sq. feet ​
