Hypoline m (Sciarid Control) 500ml tube

Product description Hypoaspis miles (also known as Stratiolaelaps scimitus) is a soil dwelling predatory mites which is supplied in a shaker tube containing 10,000 predators. The mites are packed in a peat & vermiculite carrier with a food source. Hypoaspis miles are mobile enough to be able to source the nutrition and water they require for development meaning that they are able to tolerate periods when the soil moisture levels are low. This predator attacks and kills the larvae of sciarid flies and will also consume Thrips larvae that drop to the growing medium to pupate, making it a useful addition to other Western Flower Thrips control products.
