SPIDEX VITAL
Phytoseiulus persimilis – Predatory Mite
A Natural Way to Stop Spider Mites—Before They Take Over
If you’ve ever dealt with spider mites, you know how quickly they can take over and damage your plants. SPIDEX VITAL is a gentle but powerful solution—using nature to fight nature.
These microscopic predatory mites seek out and feed on spider mites at all life stages, helping you keep populations in check without resorting to harsh sprays or chemicals. You simply sprinkle the contents of the bottle directly onto your plants or pour them into Diboxes (distribution boxes) for a more controlled release.
SPIDEX VITAL includes multiple life stages of predatory mites plus a food source, helping them stay active and establish quickly. It’s ideal for early intervention, preventative use, or managing light infestations—especially in high humidity conditions.
🔥 Best used as a preventative, light curative, or curative at the first signs of spider mites—before populations explode.
Attacks All Life Stages — And Shows You It’s Working
SPIDEX VITAL contains eggs, nymphs, and adults of Phytoseiulus persimilis, plus a non-pest food source to keep them active. These predatory mites feed on spider mite eggs, nymphs, and adults by piercing them and sucking out the contents.
Once they begin feeding, they change color from pale to bright red—a visible sign that they’ve found and attacked spider mites in your crop. This color change lets you know the mites are active and doing their job.
Ideal for long-term control in crops with ongoing pest pressure or high humidity.
Unlike SPIDEX RED, SPIDEX VITAL is designed for sustained establishment—not fast knockdown.
