Neoseiulus cucumeris is a predatory mite that targets the larvae of indigenous thrips species on foliage. Unlike Amblyseius swirskii, it performs better in low-temperature environments. However, it is ineffective against tropical thrips species.These slow-release sachets are used to prevent infestations of indigenous thrips species and tarsonemids. They contain predators at all stages of growth to provide prolonged action.
