When to use Spical?
Use Spical for biological pest control of:
- two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae)
- fruit tree red spider mite, also known as European red mite (Panonychus ulmi)
- citrus red mite (Panonychus citri)
- broad mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus)
- cyclamen mite (Tarsonemus pallidus)
Introduce Spical if pest presence is suspected or at the first sign of pest presence. Use Spidex for hotspot treatment.
It is beneficial to spread these mites preventatively. They are ideal for roses growing in pots.
Please note that if you are battling with red spider mite, you probably are not watering your roses enough.
Precaution: application of this product can cause sensitization or allergic reactions, we therefore advise to take the necessary precautions.
How does Spical work?
Adult predatory mites, nymphs and larvae actively search for their prey and consume them.
Application Spical
- Turn and shake the bottle gently before use
- Sprinkle material on leaves. It is almost like shaking salt onto food, except one tries to spread the carrier material and mites evenly onto your roses.
- Neoseiulus californicus tolerates a range of chemical pesticides
- Always use Spical in conjunction with Spidex
