Unit price/ per
Amblyseius Andersoni is primarily used to prevent and treat Fuchsia Gall Mite. It's an excellent product for catching the mites as they comes out of hibernation in the early spring. DO NOT ORDER THIS PRODUCT IS YOU ALREADY HAVE A GALL MITE INFESTATION, SEE ADVICE BELOW.
The sachets contain a breeding colony of mites that crawl out slowly over a period of 4-6 weeks stopping an infestation from taking hold. If you already have the pest in large numbers please cut the worst of the infestation away before introducing the predators.
These predatory mites are widely used in commercial glasshouses to control unwanted plant pests. Amblyseius Andersoni is used to treat different species of Red Spider Mite (Tetranychus spp. and Panonychus spp.) FuchsiaGall Mites, Pear Blister Mites, Rust Mites and Thrips, it can tolerate a wide range of high and low temperatures 6°C to 40°C, making it a great early season control.
If you have left it a bit long for the slow release to get on top of the population, if a pest population is already established it will be difficult for Amblyseius species to gain effective control quickly. Species such as Phytoseiulus stand a better chance at bringing about a curative control due to the species ability to move easily across the webbing structure. You can find that product here.

Amblyseius spp. are difficult to spot with the naked eye, and to tell apart even with the benefit of a microscope. The colour of the mites vary according to what they have been feeding upon. Amblyseius are suitable for glasshouses and conservatories, as well as outside. They can feed on pollen and spores when there isn't enough live prey for them to survive on in the winter months, this makes them an effective early preventative measure.
We would suggest using 1 sachet per metre square or 1 per plant.
Get this product very early in the season, they are active from 6°C! They will feed on pollen and spores in the absence of prey or before the pest comes out of hibernation. If you suffered with Fuchsia Gall mite last season then introduce the sachets before you first spotted the damage last year.
The sachets are very low maintenance, simply fold them with the hole on the inside and balance them on the branches.

Fuchsia Gall
"This is the first time I have bought this treatment, and I will need to wait to see how effective it is. We grow many fuchsias here in North Devon, and the arrival of their mites has had a serious impact on our plants and gardens. Fingers crossed!"
— Alan B. (4/5)
Reliable and helpful
"Reliable delivery and helpful advice on request. My fuscias had a bad attack but I remain hopeful I can beat the mites with a regular order of these predators!"

Fuchsia rescue remedy
"Very easy to use, we first used them late last year- probably a lot later than we should have done since the fuchsia bushes had been suffering for a couple of years. We reapplied the treatment for gall mite this year and the bushes are definitely look a lot healthier, we will continue to use the fuchsia gall mite treatment for the forseeable future."
— Colin S. (5/5)
Success and a quick result
"The fuchsias are beginning to flower and are looking better since I applied the sachets a fortnight ago. I'm very pleased and I'll use more next year, but earlier in the season."

Rescued a badly afflicted hardy fuschia.
"Very simple to use and appears to have been very expected. I thought my hardy fuschia had had it last summer But I did my best to cut off the infested parts and hung up the sachets. This year there is lots of heathy new growth. Am using the sachets again, just to be sure!"
— Rosamund R. (5/5)
Easy To Use
"Very good service from seller with detailed information on the product and how to use. I was treating a gall mite attack on an established fuchsia and followed the instructions having cut back the fuchsia. Very quick and easy to use and I stapled the ends on the packets over a branch to keep in place. It is too early to say whether it has stopped the infestation but would use the product again if needed."

Gall mite destroyer
"Arrived quickly, waiting to see if they work!"

Excellent product
"Had a very bad case of fuchsia gall mite attacking my beautiful plant. First year, I cut down but soon was back destroying the new growth. Then I discovered these sachets. They cleared it up nicely. The issue was so big that it has taken 2 years to clear it properly, this time I bought them at the start of the season. My fuchsia has been in beautiful bloom all summer, with no sign of mites. Highly recommend."
