Californicus is an aggressive predator and may also attack other beneficial insects such as Persimilis and Cucumeris. 

Ideal Environment

• Californicus can survive temperatures of 16-32°C. 
• Humidity of 45% or higher is required for all predatory mites. Please don't use or store any mites in low humidity, they won't survive.
• Use as soon as delivered for optimal results.

Tips & Tricks

• Californicus works best when used preventatively or when spider mite infestation is low, for best results allow californicus to buildup on the crops before spider mite can establish.
• When pests are low the predator will stay on the crop and feed on pollen and wait for the arrival of new pests. 
• If spider mite infestation is high (webbing is present) Persimilis will provide better control.
