Persimilis predatory mites
Phytoseiulus persimilis is a predatory mite that feeds only on two-spotted spider mite adults, nymphs, and eggs. Because spider mites are their only food source, Persimilis are best introduced when spider mites are first discovered, rather than preventatively. Once they exhaust their food source they will disperse or die of starvation. Persimilis do not go into diapause and are capable of complete eradication of spider mite populations if climate conditions are suitable.
