Product Description
Knockdown and Preventive Control of Soil Dwelling Fungus Gnats, Root Aphids, Thrips and Springtails.
This tiny, translucent brown to tan predatory mite naturally inhabits the top layer of soil where pest insect larvae and pupae dwell. Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Hypoaspis miles) is primarily used for treating and controlling fungus gnat infestations, but can also be released as a control measure for root aphids, spider mites and thrips. Female S. scimitus predatory mites lay their eggs in soil where the nymphs and adults feed on pests. Nymphal feeding focuses on eggs and immature larvae (instars) of fungus gnats in addition to pupal stages of thrips. If the infestation being treated is severe, use S. scimitus along with Sf Beneficial Nematodes and Yellow Sticky Traps. Consider using S. scimitus with A. swirskii or N. cucumeris if you are treating an active thrips infestation.
Life Cycle & Optimal Conditions for Release:
The S. scimitus life cycle lasts around 13 days and can accelerate or lengthen in different environmental conditions. Optimal conditions for S. scimitus performance are temperatures from 60-74° and high relative humidity. These conditions refer to soil conditions more so than atmospheric conditions as the Stratiolaelaps are most active in the growing medium. Cooler temperatures can have a negative impact on reproduction and development.
Release rates: Some crops benefit when higher release rates are used preventatively.

Contains spinosad, produced by fermentation. New chemistry for insect control. Can be used on vegetable, fruit crops, ornamentals and turf. Controls caterpillars as well as beetles, leafminers, thrips, beetles and more! | Doktor Doom® Spider Mite Knock Out® is a 0.20% pyrethrin formula. This formula is 19 times stronger in active ingredient pyrethrin than any soap-based insecticides and 10 times stronger than any formulations that contain pyrethrin & piperonyl butoxide. Piperonyl butoxide is a synergist that enhances the killing power of pyrethrin and it is not approved for organic gardening. Unlike soap-based products which need to be applied liberally to the plant in order to drown the insects Doktor Doom® Spider Mite Knock Out® kills the pests on contact with just a light misting on the foliage. Apply Doktor Doom® Spider Mite Knock Out® to the underside of the leaves and then fog the room with a Doktor Doom® Fogger. The smell of pyrethrin flushes out and eradicates insect pests on contact. | Say goodbye to spider mites! SNS 217™ kills mites and their eggs. It is fully biodegradable and non-toxic to animals. How it works: Natural salts and fatty acids derived from rosemary extracts disrupt the insect cell structure. Cell contents then leak from damaged cells causing spider mites to dehydrate and die. SNS 217™ kills the spider mite eggs by coating them with an oily shield that disrupts the respiration to the egg; therefore no hatching will occur, they will just dry out. | General Hydroponics® Prevasyn™ Insect Repellant/Insecticide is an insect repellant that makes life miserable for bugs. It features concentrated plant extracts and capsicum oleoresin (pepper extract). The latter ingredient is the key—soft-bodied insects and mites can't stand its irritant properties. When applied regularly, General Hydroponics® Prevasyn™ Insect Repellant/Insecticide keeps bugs from eating or laying eggs on leaves. General Hydroponics® Prevasyn™ Insect Repellant/Insecticide is one of the few insect repellants on the market that has both concentrated plant extracts and capsicum oleoresin. Make it part of your strategy for managing bug problems. | The Amazing Doctor Zymes Eliminator is a revolutionary green solution that kills and eliminates soft-bodied insects, molds and mildews on your indoor or outdoor gardens. Eliminator is a proprietary formula, hand crafted to ensure quality control. Professional growers use it all year to ensure pest-free, mildew-free plants. Many of them have told us that they realized an increase in yields by not having to combat pests and mildews with toxic or oil-based products and that as a preventative they did not see any pests or mildews even up to the day of harvest. | ||||
