    No movement from Hypoliv

    Opened up the package and was physically looking for moving mites but could not see any. Dumped out the entire contents of the package and could see only a handful of mites. I waited till the next morning to see if I can see any because normally I would see them walking all over the edge of my beds, but no movement. The 24 hours had already passed for me to message them back! the other products I ordered were good.

We will work with you to address any product-related issues. We're glad to hear that the other products you ordered met your expectations and look forward to working with you again.

    Controlling pests at soil level

    After 4 months of trial and monitoring, the combination of orius Insidiousus with stratiolaelaps scimitus seems to be the effective solution for controlling leaf pests (thrips and spider mites specifically) in my 160 sq ft greenhouse that I've been hoping to find. New plant growth seems more consistent and older leaves are maintaining a better show quality.
    Added bonus: fungus gnats are also reduced to insignificant numbers so no more ugly sticky traps photobombing my Instagram submissions.

    Thanks for 5-star review! We're glad to hear the OriLiv and HypoLiv combo is working well in your plants.

    Happy as always

    I use Stratiolaelaps scimitus regularly as a preventative measure for my 200+ houseplants and I've always been pleased with the results. In my opinion, there is no better way to prevent/treat pests when you have so many plants.

    Thanks for the 5 star review :)

    Works really well!

    Controls fungus gnats well if used in combination with yellow sticky traps inserted into the soil -- need both to control both the larvae and the adults. Would purchase again!

    Thanks for the 5 star review!! :)
