## Overview

Hypoaspis Miles are microscopic predatory mites designed to naturally control sciarid fly larvae and thrip pupae at the plant base. With the ability to consume up to 8 larvae daily and survive 4 weeks without food, they offer a proactive, sustainable pest management solution ideal for early-stage plants. Easy to apply and effective above 15°C, these mites reproduce under favorable conditions, providing ongoing biological control that complements other pest management strategies.

## Description

Product description Hypoaspis miles, also known as Stratiolaelaps scimitus are small predatory mites that inhabit the soil or compost surface around the plant stem. These predators feed on the eggs and larvae of fungus/sciarid flies and thrip pupae. Hypoaspis can last for around 4 weeks without a food source making them ideal for early introduction and prevention of pest break outs, especially at the seedling stage. When pests are present each Hypoaspis can consume around 8 sciarid fly larvae per day. Hyposapis will control parts of the pest life cycle that occur in the compost or soil, however they will only very rarely venture onto the plant itself. This means sticky traps or other predators should be used for a combination that will totally control pests. Dragonfli advise the following rates of application for Hypoaspis miles; Preventative – 100 per square metre Medium infestation – 200 per square metre Heavy infestation – 500 per square metre *We would always advise applying slightly more than needed to ensure total control, hence avoiding repeat applications. Legal Disclaimer Hypoaspis is a living creature and should be released upon delivery for best results. Hypoaspis can be affected by any chemical pesticides used within the previous few weeks. As a guide cease using pyrethrum or SB plant invigorator 2 days prior to use and other persistent chemicals or universal bug killers 1-2 weeks before using Hypoaspis.

Review: Loads of mites - I bought 2000 and I could see maybe 10 when I emptied the bottle into my tub. I’m hoping the rest are super tiny but the 10 I saw were the size I was expecting. Very disappointed. Well the next day I could see loads and loads of mites so very pleased. They were just a lot smaller than I was expecting
Review: Why do I keep doing this to myself - I keep giving this company chances thinking that my conditions are to blame but I'm convinced they're not this time. I've ordered these 2/3 times and every time I order them they look entirely different. After speaking to an expert at the local uni - I've been doing everything right to keep them alive. After the first time I didn't expect these to deal with a huge infestation, rather protect against or deal with minor ones. They are sodding useless. No change in pest populations whatsoever and they certainly don't protect against infestations either.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loads of mites

### ⭐ Why do I keep doing this to myself
*by C***R on 12 November 2019*

I keep giving this company chances thinking that my conditions are to blame but I'm convinced they're not this time. I've ordered these 2/3 times and every time I order them they look entirely different. After speaking to an expert at the local uni - I've been doing everything right to keep them alive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A magical tiny bottle of fly eating dirt
*by C***N on 14 April 2021*

Tiny little bottle of dirt arrived after a week; I divided the soil content between 8 indoor plant pots - sprinkling a teaspoon of the dirt on top of the soil in each pot - and within a week my rampant infestation of tiny leaf eating flies hatching pin head eggs had completely disappeared - worked well and very simple to use.
