How to use Spical-Plus

Neoseiuluscalifornicus tolerates a range of chemical pesticides
Always use Spical-Plus in conjunction with Spidex
Best working conditions Spical-Plus
Neoseiuluscalifornicus tolerates high temperatures and low humidities. It targets all stages, but prefers younger stages. Predatory mites also survive on other mites and pollen and can survive for a number of weeks without food.
