Spider mites are slow moving, normally light in colour with distinct dark spots on either side of their body. They feed on many soft or fleshy leaved plants, causing speckling and discolouration.

At high densities they produce silk that can cover the plant. Mites will overwinter in conservatories, greenhouses or bamboo canes. If damage occurred last year, introduce the predators early. 

The tiny red coloured spider mites are plant-feeding mites and feared pests on several crops all over the world. In dry, warm weather a spider mite population can grow very rapidly.

Species

The most common species are two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) and the carmine spider mite (Tetranychus cinnabarinus).

Spider Mite control with Phytoseiulus 

Where RSM is already established, use Phytoseiulus, a fast-moving predatory mite. Temperature needs to be consistently over 20°C. Repeat applications every 2-3 weeks in hot weather.

Regular introductions between June and August for effective control.

Available to order between: 1st May - 1st October

Description and life cycle

The female deposits round eggs of about 0.14 mm on the underside of the leaf. Out of the egg a colourless larva with 6 legs hatches and immediately starts feeding. Subsequently, the larva develops into a protonymph, a deutonymph and an adult stage.

The nymphs are light to dark green and have 2 clearly developed body spots. The colour of the adults can vary from yellow-brown to red-brown, depending of the crop on which they occur.

Both males and females have 2 large dark body spots. The development stages are separated by a resting stage, during which the mite settles immobile on the leaf.

Once the mite has become adult, it takes another 0.5 to 3 days before the female starts laying eggs.

The total development time takes 7 days at 30°C (86°F), 17 days at 20°C (68°F) and 36 days at 15°C (59°F). The female lays her eggs for 10 days (at 35°C or 95°F) and up to 40 days (at 15°C or 59°F). At 20°C (68°F) she lays about 40 eggs in total, but under optimal circumstances this can mount up to 100.

Especially during dry and warm weather spider mites can reproduce very rapidly. In autumn, when temperature and photoperiod drop, fertilised females enter diapauses. Such females turn orange-red. They hide in all kinds of cracks in the greenhouse, to appear again early in the following season when circumstances improve.

Highly Recommended – Saved Big and Easy Install at 83 Years Old!
Size: CF10134&CA11476
I’ve been taking my cars to my favorite garage for over 25 years, so I trust them completely. When they quoted me $150 just to install and purchase the cabin and engine air filters on my 2016 Honda Accord, I decided to try doing it myself. I bought this Cabin & Engine Air Filter set (fits Honda Accord 2.4L 2013-2017 and Acura TLX) for only about $27 delivered. What a difference in price! Installation was surprisingly straightforward. Everything fit perfectly with no issues. The only extra step was doing a simple factory reset on the control panel, which was very easy and took just a couple of minutes. At 83 years old, I’m proud to say I handled the whole job myself in my driveway. The filters seem high quality, especially with the activated carbon cabin filter. My car runs cleaner now and the air inside smells fresher. Excellent value and perfect fit. If you’re even a little handy, don’t pay the high dealer/garage prices — get this kit and do it yourself. Highly recommended! Would buy again without hesitation.

Perfect Fit & Performance for 2022 Explorer ✅
Size: CA10242&CF12772, Size: CA10242&CF12772
I recently installed this filter set on my 2022 Ford Explorer (2.3L), and I’m very impressed with the results. Both the engine and cabin filters were a perfect fit with no installation issues. Performance & Quality: Solid Build: These feel much sturdier and higher quality than the filters I removed. I bought my vehicle used, and it seems the previous owners used whatever generic parts they could find. These are a noticeable step up. Fuel Efficiency: Since the swap, my MPG has remained rock steady at 26.1 MPG while running 89 octane fuel. It’s good to know the engine is breathing efficiently. Cabin Comfort: The cabin air is noticeably fresh, and the airflow is excellent—no whistling or restricted feel through the vents. Value: Getting both filters in one set is a great deal compared to buying them individually at a local auto parts store or the dealership. I’ll definitely be looking at these again in the next 6 to 12 months for my next maintenance cycle. Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a reliable, cost-effective alternative to dealership prices that doesn't compromise on performance, this is a great choice. See Old vs New Photo

Great value and quality
Size: CF11182&CA12050
Perfect fit for turbo Civic- appears well made. I had an issue with another Honda about 4 days after I changed this and paid $28 for JUST a cabin air filter at an auto parts store. Apparently- mice like to get in there

It's a Filter!
Size: 97133L1000&28113AA100
Fit great! Just look on youtube how to put in! I'm not in a particularly dusty area, but the air cabin filter was a disaster after only a year. Will buy again!
