Dragonfli Thrip Killer - Amblyseius swirskii Predators - Premium Foil Sachets (25)

Absolutely wonderful!It has saved my plants.After a reoccuring infestation of thrips I was at my wits end.I have tried it all the natural and the remedies. Isolation of plants home made sprays etc nothing worked. As the last resort i tried some pesticided....it didn't work.Thankfully I gave this a go and it worked wonders. It has reduced significantly damage to my plants . Stop the procreation of thrips!!! Adults are sporadic I wipe down the leaves and use blue stickers. To attract the adult insects. It will take another treatment as it needs a repeat application after 4 weeks. The pouches are full of active the predatory mites. Thank you for saving my plants

I bought these as predatory mites to combat Thrips and they worked great

My indoor plants got completely destroyed by chili thrips that I presume came in with fruit and veg. They strip every chloroplast of all plants, even thick waxy jade plants, and nothing kills them because the growers already tried all the pesticides you can buy. They are too small to see until it's too late. Nightmare. Even if you destroy all your plants and b aleach every surface, nook and cranny, and chuck out all the compost, as soon as any new plant pokes its head up, its green is systematically stripped off.First time I tried the Swirski mites, there weren't many in the sachets and I lost the plants. As above, I totally blitzed the house and started again the next year, but as soon as you think things are just getting nice and green, the leaves are suddenly looking floppy, and next thing they are full of windows where all the green is gone. I had no choice but to try again, and this time, there were so many mites that the box felt like it was covered in sand! They worked!But the thrips still came back the next year! I bought more sachets, but didn't notice any mites.Desperately, I tried getting cucurmis mites from another supplier. These were half the price and came in bigger sachets, but there were hardly any eggs inside, and I only found a moth in one. The supplier sent me more, but all that happened was that one sachet had so many they came out and ate the tip of a young amarylis leaf, but the others still has hardly any in.So I had to try the swirskii again, as i can't bear looking at plantless rooms! This time I seem to have had a bit more luck and tomatoes and peppers leafed up again, but I see thrips are stll there because nasturtium leaves. which the they seem to like best, always get stripped before getting to size. I use them as sacrificial plants now. :(Worst pest I ever had, apart from citrus scale, indoors, and squirrels, outdoors. At least the citrus scale stuck to citrus, but 'chili' thrips eat everything!

Killed off most of the thrips on my 40something houseplants within a week! I only lost 2 plants to the infestation, but I think they were already too far gone before the mites arrived.

Helped me to get rid of thrips just in 2-3 weeks! My plants are healthy and strong again, this is amazing result. Easy to use sachets. Definitely recommend!

I was really hopeful for this product and wanted to use a natural alternative to pesticides but after absolutely no results for several months and no signs of life from whatever came from the packets, I think I’ve given up. The packets specifically state not to open them but without opening them manually, no creatures even came out for weeks. When I eventually did see the mites, they were microscopic, far tinier than thrips unlike the photos in the description, and had no effect whatsoever on the pest populations.The packets state to simply hang onto your plants, which I did, but I had more luck with shaking them onto the plants in the end. This was the only method that actually made a minor dent for some time. This was tested on multiple plant pests including thrips, spider mites, aphids and mealy bugs to which it has no effect on.Save your money and your plants by getting rose clear instead…

These definitely worked! Bugs are all gone without having change the soil or anything else. We have got new branches and leaves that are all healthy and green. No brown spots anymore. 👍👍

Easy to hang on plants, no mess like shake bottles a they Do what they are supposed to do.
