Anyone here used Amblyseius (Neoseiulus) californicus or andersonii?
Most of the RSMP available is Phytoseiulus persimilis, but it isn't
effective at low temperatures.

Been using Amblyseius here for four years and swear by it.
It overwinters here quite readily and all that I do is to top up
every spring. Greenhouse is kept just frost free in the winter.

Thanks for that confirmation.

40 miles north of Inverness? I'll check to see if mine come with anoraks
too when I order them!

Anoraks are for soft southerners! We are all decently clad in the
latest fashions up here!

Don't know if they'd send them out now with the cold weather due!

My supplier for years has been Ladybird Plant Care. I think that they are
based in Sussex (near Littlehampton) www.ladybirdplantcare.co.uk

Thanks for that, going to give it a go, the other sort of mites work OK but

Ray gets it sent from Syngenta, Charlie. It's on a regular schedule.
I think it's probably a bit cheaper on a commercial scale.

the problem starting, I have ordered some now, I may report back in the
autumn if I remember!
