A total of 25000 Amblyseius swirskii were released in Zone 4 & 5 to help us with controlling the whiteflie population, and reducing the risk of a thrip infestation.
The mite lives on the plants, searching for prey among the leaves and is a generalist predator, meaning it will eat most soft-bodied arthropod, but has a preference for thrips and whitefly larvae.

We also released 25000 more Stratiolaelaps scimitus, the soil roam mite that hunts thrips pupae and fungus gnat larvae, and installed 100 cards of Ancarsia formosa, the parasitoid wasp that lay eggs in whiteflie larvae.
