Spider mites are slow moving, normally light in colour with distinct dark spots on either side of their body. They feed on many soft or fleshy leaved plants, causing speckling and discolouration.

At high densities they produce silk that can cover the plant. Mites will overwinter in conservatories, greenhouses or bamboo canes. If damage occurred last year, introduce the predators early. 

The tiny red coloured spider mites are plant-feeding mites and feared pests on several crops all over the world. In dry, warm weather a spider mite population can grow very rapidly.

Species

The most common species are two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) and the carmine spider mite (Tetranychus cinnabarinus).

Spider Mite control with Phytoseiulus 

Where RSM is already established, use Phytoseiulus, a fast-moving predatory mite. Temperature needs to be consistently over 20°C. Repeat applications every 2-3 weeks in hot weather.

Regular introductions between June and August for effective control.

Available to order between: 1st May - 1st October

Description and life cycle

The female deposits round eggs of about 0.14 mm on the underside of the leaf. Out of the egg a colourless larva with 6 legs hatches and immediately starts feeding. Subsequently, the larva develops into a protonymph, a deutonymph and an adult stage.

The nymphs are light to dark green and have 2 clearly developed body spots. The colour of the adults can vary from yellow-brown to red-brown, depending of the crop on which they occur.

Both males and females have 2 large dark body spots. The development stages are separated by a resting stage, during which the mite settles immobile on the leaf.

Once the mite has become adult, it takes another 0.5 to 3 days before the female starts laying eggs.

The total development time takes 7 days at 30°C (86°F), 17 days at 20°C (68°F) and 36 days at 15°C (59°F). The female lays her eggs for 10 days (at 35°C or 95°F) and up to 40 days (at 15°C or 59°F). At 20°C (68°F) she lays about 40 eggs in total, but under optimal circumstances this can mount up to 100.

Especially during dry and warm weather spider mites can reproduce very rapidly. In autumn, when temperature and photoperiod drop, fertilised females enter diapauses. Such females turn orange-red. They hide in all kinds of cracks in the greenhouse, to appear again early in the following season when circumstances improve.

Not Indestructible To My Dog. Do NOT recommend for aggressive chewers
My 11 month old Jack Russell Rat Terrier literally chews EVERYTHING. Finding toys for her other than the very few Kong extreme toys they make has been a real challenge. I bought this bone hoping that it would be atleast somewhat indestructible and that shed be able to chew on it for longer than 5 minutes. Well shes had it for about 15 minutes now and theres already a chunk missing so not to thrilled about that. Hopefully it will last atleast the rest of the day. I gave this product a 3 star review for a few reasons: One I would say this product would be great for a slight to moderate chewer but with my dogs pirana teeth and jaws of steel this bone has been no match for her. My dog chews and chews until theres the smallest piece of toy hanging off or an indent big enough for her to start ripping pieces off so this did not work for her. The product is also made nicely it is thick so no worries about teeth puncturing through it. I also liked that the ends are smooth so no worry of my dog eating it from the holes at the end because shes done tbat with many toys.

Best toy we’ve got.
Love this toy. I have had it for over a month now and there is not a bit of damage. I put her favorite soft treats in there and then break a milk bone and stuff it in there to make them stay, and it will keep her busy for hours(depending on how well I stuff it). So worth it. She is a blue healer/Rottweiler mix, very energetic and amazing at destroying toys, but this one, she is more focused on getting the treats than tearing it apart. Flawless design.

A winner with our GSD. He’s not a super aggressive chewer but it has still held up and is a favorite.
