🌿 Raubmilben gegen Spinnmilben
Die GREEN GUARDIA Raubmilben sind eine 100 % natürliche Lösung zur gezielten Bekämpfung von Spinnmilben – ideal für Haus, Garten und Gewächshaus. Je nach Bedarf kannst du zwischen praktischen Hängetüten oder Streuware wählen.
✅ Zwei Anwendungsformen
- Tüte aufhängen: Direkt an betroffene Pflanze hängen. Die Raubmilben wandern selbstständig aus und verteilen sich.
- Streuvariante: Tüte vorsichtig öffnen und Inhalt direkt auf Blätter oder Erde geben.
📏 Dosierungsempfehlung
Bei Befall: 1 Tüte pro Pflanze oder ca. 3 m²
Zur Vorbeugung: 1 Tüte für bis zu 2 Pflanzen oder ca. 6 m²
📆 Anwendungstipps
- Schon bei ersten Anzeichen ausbringen.
- Bei starkem Befall nach 1–2 Wochen erneut anwenden.
- In Kombination mit Gelbtafeln besonders effektiv.
- Beste Wirkung ab 18 °C und mittlerer Luftfeuchtigkeit.
⚠️ Hinweis: Bitte verwende mindestens 6 Wochen vor und nach der Anwendung keine synthetischen Pflanzenschutzmittel – diese können die Raubmilben schädigen.
Was sind Spinnmilben?
Spinnmilben sind winzige, rötlich-gelbe Schädlinge, die sich bevorzugt an der Blattunterseite ansiedeln. Sie gehören zu den häufigsten Problemen im Pflanzenanbau – sowohl im Gewächshaus, auf Balkonpflanzen, Zimmerpflanzen als auch im Garten.
Die Schädlinge durchstechen die Pflanzenzellen und saugen sie aus, was zu hellen Sprenkeln, Vergilbung und später zu Blattfall führt. Feine Gespinste zwischen Blättern und Trieben sind ein deutliches Anzeichen für einen Spinnmilbenbefall.
Wie kann ich Spinnmilben natürlich bekämpfen?
Der effektivste Weg zur biologischen Bekämpfung von Spinnmilben ist der Einsatz von Raubmilben – z. B. Phytoseiulus persimilis oder Amblyseius californicus. Diese Nützlinge jagen aktiv Spinnmilben und regulieren den Befall nachhaltig – ganz ohne Chemie oder Rückstände.
🌿 Tipp: Raubmilben bevorzugen feucht-warme Bedingungen ab ca. 18 °C. Eine hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit fördert ihre Aktivität und Fortpflanzung.
Wie kann ich einem Spinnmilbenbefall vorbeugen?
- Regelmäßig kontrollieren: Achte auf helle Blattflecken, Gespinste und trockene Blattränder.
- Luftfeuchtigkeit erhöhen: Besonders in der Heizperiode – z. B. durch tägliches Besprühen.
- Pflanzen stärken: Verwende Neemöl oder Pflanzenstärkungsmittel zur Vorbeugung.
- Befallene Blätter entfernen: Frühzeitig eingreifen, um Ausbreitung zu verhindern.
- Nützlinge frühzeitig einsetzen: Raubmilben beugen Ausbrüchen wirksam vor – besonders im Gewächshaus und bei empfindlichen Sorten.
⚠️ Wichtig: Verzichte 6 Wochen vor und nach dem Einsatz auf chemische Pflanzenschutzmittel – sie können die Raubmilben schädigen.

FAQ Predatory mites
Do you have questions about our products, their use, or shipping? Here you'll find the most important answers at a glance. If anything remains unclear, please feel free to contact us!
Predatory mites are microscopic, beneficial arachnids that feed on pests such as thrips and spider mites. They actively hunt their prey and help regulate pest populations naturally—without the use of chemicals.
Depending on the application, Amblyseius cucumeris is commonly used against thrips and Phytoseiulus persimilis against spider mites. Both species are specialized for their target pests.
No. Predatory mites are completely harmless to humans, children, and pets. They are tiny, don't bite, and disappear as soon as there is no more prey.
Ideal for ornamental plants, houseplants, and vegetables such as cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, and strawberries—both indoors and outdoors. They also provide effective support in greenhouses.
Yes, preventative use is especially useful for susceptible plants. Predatory mites settle and intervene immediately when the first pests appear.
Bags contain food and breeding material in which the predatory mites can survive for up to 15 days and then migrate peau a peau on their own. Loose material is intended for quick, immediate use—e.g., in the event of an acute infestation.
We usually ship live beneficial insects Monday to Thursday to ensure they arrive fresh and vital – delivery is usually within 1-3 business days.
The animals arrive in small bags or as scattered material in substrate—well packaged and protected from light. This packaging ensures optimal living conditions during transport.
Apply the predatory mites immediately upon receipt. If necessary, you can store them for 1–2 days at 8–10°C (46–50°F)—but apply them as quickly as possible.
Live beneficial insects are non-returnable. However, we're happy to help you with any problems.
No, shipping to packing stations is not possible for live beneficial insects. Please provide a home address where you can receive the shipment directly.
Yes, we also ship predatory mites abroad.
Hang bags directly onto the plant or sprinkle the substrate evenly over the affected parts. Avoid direct sunlight and check regularly.
As soon as you notice the first signs of thrips or spider mites, the sooner you react, the more effective the control will be.
In case of infestation, one bag or sprinkler is sufficient for approximately 1 plant or 10 m². For prevention, one bag is sufficient for 2 plants or approximately 20 m².
Depending on the severity of the infestation, a follow-up treatment may be necessary after 1–2 weeks. In many cases, one application is sufficient – preventatively, approximately every 4–6 weeks.
As long as they find pests, they remain active. When the food source dries up, they die or retreat – leaving no residue.
They prefer temperatures of approximately 18°C and above and high humidity (60–80%). In very dry, heated air, we recommend spraying the plants regularly.
In addition to the predatory mites, the bags also contain food, so the mites often have enough food and don't leave the bag immediately. This is completely normal and not a sign that they are inactive.
Our predatory mites can survive in the bags for up to 15 days – even at sub-zero temperatures.
The bags are already provided with small holes through which the predatory mites can easily escape. Simply hang the bags on the affected plants or near the infested areas. The predatory mites will set off on their own and find their target automatically.
Yes, in mild weather (over 15°C) you can also use them outdoors – for example, in flowerbeds, balcony plants, or raised beds.
Thrips are elongated, fast-moving insects that leave silvery feeding marks. Spider mites form fine webs, often on the undersides of leaves – yellow spots are a typical symptom.
No. Synthetic pesticides and many oils are harmful to predatory mites. Avoid using such products for two weeks before and four weeks after application.
