Feltiella acarisuga is a predatory gall midge specializing in spider mite control, particularly effective against two-spotted and carmine mites in greenhouse environments. Adult Feltiella are strong fliers, covering distances over 45 meters, and once food is limited at their release point, they will naturally disperse across crops. Female midges are skilled in locating spider mite colonies, even small infestations, to lay their eggs. Upon hatching, the larvae immediately consume spider mites, with four larval stages that can collectively eliminate up to five times more spider mites daily than Phytoseiulus. Feltiella remains active in cool, cloudy conditions, making it suitable for spring, autumn, and strawberry crops.

Key Features:

  • Voracious predatory midge targeting all stages of spider mites, including diapausing mites
  • Strong flying adults with excellent searching abilities
  • Effective even in cooler, darker weather, such as spring and autumn
  • Unlike some gall midges, does not create plant galls
