What is ENTOMITE-M?


ENTOMITE-M contains the predatory mite Stratiolaelaps scimitus; which lives in and on the upper layer of the soil. Its prey consist of eggs; larvae and pupae of fungus gnats. It also feeds on thrips pupae and other soil-dwelling insects. The predatory mites move fast through the soil. The grain mites in this product can cause slight damage to the crop. Make sure the soil is not too moist and use a moderate amount of product.

How does ENTOMITE-M work?


Adults and nymphs feed on the larvae of fungus gnats; thrips pupae and other soil-dwelling insects. You can find the mites in and on the soil and around the basis of the plants. Stratiolaelaps scimitus rarely occurs in the plant. Feeding of ENTOMIRE-M slowly leads to the decrease of pest populations.
