A mite predator that keeps working in cooler rooms where others slow down
Californicus is a great all-around mite predator, but it loses steam when temperatures drop. Amblyseius andersoni fills that gap: it stays active across a wide 43 to 100 degree Fahrenheit range, so it works in cooler grow rooms, early-season greenhouses, and swings between day and night. It controls broad, russet, and spider mites, and like other durable predators it persists on pollen when pest numbers are low.
Live insects ship on Tuesdays only and arrive Wednesday. Orders must be placed 7 days in advance. Anything ordered by 3pm EST Tuesday ships the following Tuesday by UPS overnight shipping.

Wide temperature tolerance 43 to 100 degrees F
Andersoni stays active from 43 all the way to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, so it keeps hunting in cool rooms and through day-to-night swings where warm-weather predators go quiet.
Three mite pests covered
It feeds on broad mites, russet mites, and spider mites, so you get multi-pest coverage from one product without needing a precise species ID.
Survives lean stretches
When pest numbers fall it feeds on pollen, so a resident population stays on your plants ready to catch the next flare-up.
Prevention and cure
Release it early to keep mites from establishing, or apply to an active problem to bring numbers down without chemicals.
Reproduces on the plant
Females lay eggs among the foliage, so the colony renews itself rather than depending on the single batch you released.
Shake-and-go application
Supplied in a bran carrier, it dusts straight onto leaves and stems with no mixing and no sprayer.
Turn the container to mix, then sprinkle the carrier onto leaves and stems.
Make sure the material stays on the leaves for a few hours after release.
Typical rate 50-250 per m²; repeat about 3 times at weekly intervals.
Do not mix on the same plants with other generalist predatory mites like swirskii or cucumeris.
How andersoni handles mites in cool rooms
Dust it onto the plants
Shake the bran carrier evenly over leaves and stems, focusing on the upper canopy and any stippled areas.
Predators spread out
The mites disperse across the foliage and begin feeding on pest eggs, larvae, and adults.
They work through the cool
Because andersoni tolerates temperatures down to 43 degrees, it keeps hunting when other predators would stall.
A patrol stays behind
Feeding on pollen between meals, a resident population remains to catch the next outbreak early.
