Spider mites are among the most destructive pests affecting vegetables, berries, ornamentals, indoor plants, nurseries, and commercial crops. They reproduce rapidly, damage leaves by sucking plant sap, and often develop resistance to chemical pesticides.
Persimilis is a highly effective beneficial predatory mite that naturally hunts and consumes Two-Spotted Spider Mites (Tetranychus urticae) throughout all active life stages.
Unlike chemical sprays that can leave residues, harm beneficial insects, or lead to resistance, Persimilis works continuously by actively searching for spider mite colonies and eliminating them naturally.
Once released, these tiny predators immediately begin feeding, reproducing within pest hotspots, and reducing spider mite populations before severe crop damage occurs.
Whether you’re growing greenhouse vegetables, strawberries, ornamentals, cannabis, berries, cucumbers, tomatoes, capsicums, eggplants, indoor plants, or nursery stock, Persimilis offers an environmentally responsible biological control solution that fits perfectly within Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.
Protect your plants naturally while reducing chemical inputs and creating healthier growing environments.
✅ Fast predator of Two-Spotted Spider Mites
✅ Chemical-free biological control
✅ No chemical residues on produce
✅ Safe around beneficial insects
✅ Helps delay pesticide resistance
✅ Excellent for Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
✅ Continues reproducing while food is available
✅ Suitable for organic production systems
✅ Safe for workers and the environment
✅ Ideal for greenhouses and protected cropping
Persimilis actively searches plants for spider mite colonies.
Once located, the predator feeds on:
Each predator can consume multiple spider mites every day.
As food becomes abundant, Persimilis populations increase naturally, providing ongoing biological suppression until pest numbers decline.
Best performance occurs under:
Persimilis (Phytoseiulus persimilis) is a specialist predatory mite used worldwide for biological control of Two-Spotted Spider Mites.
It feeds exclusively on spider mites and poses no risk to plants.

Persimilis controls Two-Spotted Spider Mites (Tetranychus urticae).
Yes. It specifically targets spider mites and is compatible with most beneficial insects used in IPM.
Yes. It is widely used in organic and sustainable production systems.
Predators begin hunting immediately after release and can rapidly suppress spider mite populations under favorable conditions.
Release as soon as the first spider mites are detected for best results.
Yes. When spider mites are available as food, Persimilis reproduces naturally, increasing control over time.
Avoid broad-spectrum insecticides, as they may harm beneficial mites. Check compatibility before applying any pesticide.
Suitable for tomatoes, cucumbers, capsicums, eggplants, strawberries, berries, ornamentals, nursery plants, cannabis (where permitted), indoor plants, and greenhouse crops.
