Amblyseius (=Neoseiulus) cucumeris, the thrips predatory mite, are useful for the prevention, control, and management of various thrips species. Like most of the Amblyseius spp., A. cucumeris are tough, flexible predators. These happen to prefer thrips, mostly the immature thrips stages. A. cucumeris are shipped as adults, immatures and eggs (the latter are not part of the guaranteed count) in a bran-flake/vermiculite carrier along with a food source, the mold mite (Tyrophagus putrescentiae). This mold mite is merely a sustainable food source for the predatory mites while they're in transit.

Some of the species they can devour include: the western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis); the flower thrips or eastern flower thrips (F. tritici); the onion thrips (Thrips tabaci); the greenhouse thrips (Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis); and possibly the melon thrips (Thrips palmi), too. Other pests which can be impacted by these predators include cyclamen mites (Phtyodromus =Steneotarsonemus pallidus), broad mites (Polyphagotarsenomus =Hemitarsonemus latus) and, to a slight degree, tomato russet mite (Aculops lycopersici). And, as Amblyseius spp., these predators may eat other pests as well.

Orius insidiosus, also called the minute pirate bug, is an aggressive thrips predator - possibly the most effective. It attacks and kills all mobile stages of thrips, including adult thrips. Orius is a true bug, which means it has a long rostrum (feeding tube). It uses its rostrum to pierce its prey, and drain the contents, killing the pest.
A 'generalist' predator, Orius feeds on many pest species, such as mites, aphids and moth eggs for food. It will control thrips, and helps in the control of the other pest species.

Anderline biological control agent contains the predatory mite, Amblyseius andersoni. It is a predatory mite that feeds on many types of small arthropod prey and pollen. It is ideal for preventive protection of greenhouse or outdoor ornamentals, vegetables and fruit crops.
Key Features--
*Predator of two-spotted spider mite, European red mites, broad mites, cyclamen mites and russet mites
*Will also feed on pollen and thrips larvae allowing the population to survive when pest mite populations decrease
*Active at a broader temperature range (6-40§C / 43-104øF) than Phytoseiulus persimilis and Amblyseius californicus
*Since it is effective at lower temperatures, Amblyseius andersoni can be introduced much earlier in the growing season than other predatory mites
Target Pests--
*Broad mite
*Cyclamen mite
*Two-spotted spider mite
*Carmine mite
*Tomato russet/rust mite
*European red mite
Mini sachets
*Mini sachets are best used where the leaves of plants are not expected to touch or grow together. Mini sachet provide a high number or release points to ensure good spread and establishment of mites
*Sachets represent an improved breeding system that provides continuous and consistent release of beneficial insects over several weeks
*For advice on recommended release rates, consult The Bioline App

Stratiolaelaps scimitus (formerly Hypoaspis miles) is a soil-dwelling mite capable of the prevention, control, and management of sciarid flies, shore flies and various thrips and soil pests. Not only are these mites predators of thrips' prepupal and pupal stages, they are very effective fungus gnat predators as well. S. scimitus are shipped as adults, immatures and eggs in liter-size shaker canisters filled with a loose vermiculite carrier and a percentage of clean peat, and some bran added for good measure. In this form, S. scimitus are very easy to distribute in the crop.

Phytoline biological control agent contains the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis. This well-known predator will eat large numbers of two-spotted mite, Tetranychus urticae. It is a standard treatment in many crops, particularly tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries and ornamentals.
Key Features--
*Recommended for spider mite control on a wide range of crops
*Adults and young stages feed voraciously on adults and eggs of the two spotted spider-mite
*Controls spider mites resistant to acaricides
Target Pests--
*Two-spotted spider mite (TSSM)
Available in a range of sizes--
*500ml (16oz) bottle containing 2,000 or 4,000 or 10,000 or 20,000 mites for application over wide areas
*5L bag containing 25,000 or 250,000 mites
*30 ml vial containing 2,000 mites for treatment of hot spots
*The hot spot vial comes with a cap designed for dosing specific areas of the crop
*5 blister packs each containing 200 mites
*Available in vermiculite as the carrier material for use in ornamentals, which is moistened for optimal transit conditions

Starskii biological control agent contains the predatory mite, Amblyseius swirskii. It is primarily used to control whiteflies and thrips but it will provide some reduction in other small pest species.
Key Features--
*Amblyseius swirskii breed extremely quickly under warm, humid conditions. They will also survive in cooler night temperatures and through winter months in semi-protected crops.
*Actively feeds on thrips larvae (larva stage 1 or L1)
*Actively feeds on whitefly eggs and can feed on young whitefly larva (L1)
*In the absence of prey, it can feed on pollen, allowing it to survive longer in the crop
Target Pests--
*Western Flower thrips
*Chili thrips
*Onion thrips
*Greenhouse whitefly
*Silverleaf/Potato whitefly
Mini Sachets--
*Smaller sachets for more introduction points
*Best used where the leaves of plants are not expected to touch or grow together

Active Ingredient: Steinernema feltiae
Beneficial nematode for the control of fungus gnat larvae as a drench. Western flower thrips control from a soil surface treatment has been demonstrated. 100 million nematodes treat 2200-3400 sq. ft. for fungus gnat larvae control depending on pest pressure.
MOA = NC
REI = 0

Staphyline biological control agent contains the predatory beetle, Atheta coriaria. It can be used in crops such as herbs and ornamentals to protect against soil and compost pests. It is a generalist feeder, but adults and young stages are particularly good at feeding on the larvae of fungus gnats (Bradysia spp, Lycoriella spp, and Sciara spp) and shoreflies (Scatella spp).
Key Features--
*Formulation contains mixed life stages - adults, larvae, pupae and eggs - for a balanced population
*Visible predator. Adults are mobile resulting in good dispersal and establishment.
*Tolerant of a wide range of temperatures, humidity, light, irrigation and soil conditions, making them more suitable for year-round use in the greenhouse than other predators.
Target Pests--
*Fungus gnats
*Shoreflies
*Thrips pupae
Available delivery systems--
Staphlyline is supplied in 1/2L cardboard tubes containing 500 predators. It is also available in bulk bags containing 3,000 predators.
