Short description Predatory mites (Hypoaspis miles):
Predatory mites pose no danger to millipedes, woodlice or other inhabitants of the terrarium. They concentrate exclusively on combating unwanted pests such as mites and black flies. Your terrarium inhabitants therefore remain safe and unharmed.
The predatory mites (Hypoaspis miles) are an excellent choice for controlling mites in terrariums. The predatory mites have numerous advantages over other species and are able to completely eliminate the population of the pests. Another plus is their ability to go without food for a long time, which is especially beneficial if the mite species you want to control has a long incubation period. In addition, Hypoaspis miles can also be used against fungus gnat larvae in the terrarium and are excellent hunters, capable of controlling all larval stages of fungus gnats.
The predatory mites (Hypoaspis miles) will search the entire terrarium in search of prey and eat the fungus gnat larvae before they can develop into pupae. However, it should be noted that they do not attack pupae and thus are unable to control fungus gnats that have already hatched. For this case, additional yellow panels should be applied to catch adult fungus gnats and reduce the population.
Predatory mites (Hypoaspis miles) can also hunt springtails as prey, but these are more difficult to capture due to their speed and defensiveness. For this reason, they do not achieve complete eradication. For larger species such as white isopods, Hypoaspis miles do not pose a threat because the young isopods are already too large for the predatory mites.
In summary, predatory mites (Hypoaspis miles) are an excellent choice to effectively control mites and weeping flies in terrariums. Hypoaspis miles are extremely hardy and can be used in a variety of terrarium environments. They help keep the terrarium free of mites and mourning flies, providing a healthy environment for the animals living in it.
Quantity:
2.000 predatory mites in vermiculite
Application:
The contents can be distributed to several terrariums (up to 2 m2). To do this, simply divide the contents of the cardboard box into the terrariums.
Shelf life:
It is best to place predatory mites directly into the terrarium. Predatory mites should be stored at a storage temperature of 8-10°C for a maximum of one week. Since they are supplied without food, they begin to decimate each other in the packaging.
