The predatory mites are delivered in small sachets that are hung directly on the plants. From there, they crawl out daily over 4–6 weeks to seek out thrips larvae, which they feed on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis biological control is especially effective in greenhouses for plants such as cucumbers, peppers, and other vegetables. By releasing them preventively, you ensure that the predatory mites are present before the thrips infestation truly gains momentum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf there are not enough thrips larvae, the predatory mites can also feed on pollen or other small mites, making them more stable in the environment. They can also be used against cyclamen mites and broad mites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSigns of thrips in plants\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrips are small, slender insects that can be difficult to spot before the plants start showing clear signs of damage. They attack houseplants, greenhouse plants, vegetables, and ornamental plants alike, and thrive particularly well in warm conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrips live by \u003cstrong\u003erasping holes in plant cells and sucking out the contents\u003c\/strong\u003e. One of the most characteristic signs is therefore \u003cstrong\u003esilvery-gray, light, or bronze-colored areas on the leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e. The damage can start as small dots or streaks and gradually develop into larger, irregular areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother very typical sign is \u003cstrong\u003esmall black dots on the leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e. These are the thrips' excrement, often found in or around the silvery areas. The combination of silvery suction damage and small black dots is therefore a good indicator that thrips may be present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrips often reside on the \u003cstrong\u003eunderside of leaves, along the leaf veins, in new shoots, and inside flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e, where they can be well hidden. Adult thrips are typically only 1–2 mm long, slender, and dark or brownish, while larvae are often smaller and lighter.
