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.

The small tablet dissolves fast and is easy to take.
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Melatonin 5mg
Mostly I don't even taste the tablet under my tongue, and I hardly feel it. Occasionally I taste it, and it's a bit bitter. I wait to take it until I'm feeling sleepy, and I'm asleep within 5 minutes of taking it. I think it helps me to stay asleep for several hours.

They do work but they taste terrible!
Size: 60 Count (Pack of 1), Style: Melatonin 5mg
I got these for my special needs son after his doctor recommend trying melatonin to help with some sleep disturbances. They definitely help him go to bed calmly and even stay in bed through the night but I have to bribe him to get him to take them because the taste is so bad!

Excellent Product!
Added this to my evening Magnesium Glycinate about 2 or 3 weeks ago. My difficulty getting a full nights sleep gradually started to improve. I am now averaging 7 or more hours straight, up from 2.5 - 3hrs. Waking feeling refreshed and more alert, not tired and groggy now. No more mid morning slump. Just keeps getting better... it's not instant but, continues to improve. These improvements alone are well worth the cost. Also, seems to have added an extra kick to the other reason I take Magnesium... my hip pain and lack of flexibility has also improved. Almost no pain now and flexibility has gone from zero to at least 50% now. I can bend at the hip now and look forward to being able to put on socks, tie shoe laces, scrub feet and trim toenails without assistance! I have always been physically active until the years of unconsciously favoring my left leg after breaking my right leg in several places ...twice when I was younger began to take a toll on my flexibility. Starting gradually in my mid sixties until now at 68, the list of immobility problems had become very annoying. So, this improvement is is most exciting! My thanks to Teraputics Pure Life for making an excellent product!
