Broad mite is a pest of dahlias that distorts leaves and inhibits vigour. It is prevalent in hot, dry weather; pesticides can be ineffectual. Beneficial bugs and predatory mites are an alternative solution for control.
Bugs for Bugs is a leading supplier of biological control agents. They supply beneficial insects and mites to help control bad bugs in the garden.
Californicus predatory mites (Neoseiulus californicus) target broadmite and two-spotted spider mite — also known as red-spider mite — a pest on roses. Adults can consume five adult spider mites per day. Release californicus mites at the first sign of pest activity. For more information and to purchase visit www.bugsforbugs.com.au
