Galendromus Occidentalis is also known as the "Western Predatory" mite because of its ability to withstand the extremely hot and arid summers of the Central Valley of California. It is a versatile predator that can withstand temperatures up to 110 degrees farenheit and doesn't need extremely high relative humidity to sustain and reproduce (35-60% RH).

The few studies that have been done on it along with our customers’ feedback have proved that it has been readily underutilized by farmers throughout the world. This is the only predator that can withstand the hot arid summers of California’s Central Valley. Vineyards and orchards alike use numerous ways to apply these special creatures.

With the guidance of our friends at BioTactics Inc, we have recently found that Occidentalis is a very ferocious russet mite predator. Russet mites have been upsetting Cannabis agricultural endeavors and until recently there has not been a good answer other than using aggressive spray regiments. We are very excited to offer this product which is reared, packaged and shipped from BioTactics in California.
