After battling spidermites for a whole year with various treatments, I finally caved and got beneficial bugs. I waited a month after my last treatments, and rinsed all my 250+ plants off several times before introducing them. I ordered/introduced 3 rounds of bugs over the course of 2 months. As of today, I am happy to confirm my collection of houseplants is officially spidermite free!

I used this to stop a thrips infestation on some of my plants. Not only did it stop the infestation in that plant area, it kept them from spreading. I use these as preventative now and could not be happier with the results. Shipping is great, care is taken to ensure mites arrive alive. Great product, great seller.

Seriously I’m super super impressed with these guys the very first time I ever ordered. It took a little while to get here. However, the last three times have been incredibly fast. Everything was great many live critters to help prevent bad buggies ❤️

I’ve had problems with thrips on my 4 rose bushes and Jason of Fraser Valley Rose Farm channel on YouTube recommended cucumeris mites. Unfortunately, only one of the sachets seemed to have any effect at all. Thrips are as bad as ever.

I know, I know, bugs in the house (or more bugs in the house), BUT after meticulously washing and gently scrubbing all my houseplants over and over and over and... again, I just could not get rid of the spider mites that were infecting my plants. ***THESE LITTLE CRITTERS WORK!*** The End!!! No more killing yourself and wasting your time trying to rid them yourself. I've purchased these twice and will quarterly as preventative measures. DO IT!!! You'll be glad you did!

I was quite disappointed in these. The bugs are incredibly small, so ill generously assume there was more bugs in the packets than I witnessed. I had a thripe infestation on my house plants and bought these to try and Salvage them. I saw maybe a dozen of these guys and that was it.

I bought these after finding spider mites in a few of my plants. Unfortunately, for me, I didn't realize that the problem (the amount of mites) was a bit more than I thought it was. When I contacted the company, I was informed that I need a different type of beneficial mite and also one that came/or would arrive as an adult to combat the spider mites probem. I was angry at first because I thought I had been duped only to find out that these particular mites are sent in different stages of their life cycle (and though some were dead on arrival) there were others that had yet to "hatch". After this all was explained to me, I was really impressed with how they took the time to educate me, as this was my first time with spider mites and needing to buy beneficial mites to take care of the bad ones. I would recommend this company to anyone! Oh, and I was even given a refund! Will definitely buy from again when needed
