They actually don't just eat thrips, they eat a few different things, which is useful because I thought all the pests I had were thrips - they weren't, but the mites don't seem picky. You can definitely see them, which takes a hot minute to move past but it is a good thing really as well, a) there's definitely plenty of living mites in these packets and b) I find they will all crowd together when they appear to have found some food which makes it easier for me to find the problems. Also they don't need any maintenance and it's working pretty well, better than I've found with spraying plants with bug spray actually. My plants are finally starting to recover, the delivery is also easy and you get a little leaflet explaining everything

I have just completed the first round of packets after 4 weeks. I have seen very few moths in that time and none for the last week. Are they seasonal? The packets really seem to work and I will recommend them to anyone who has a moth problem.

Finally something that has worked. I am now leaf eating mite free

I have a sizeable vintage clothes collection which got a devastating clothes moth infestation around a year ago. I tried all sorts of sprays, washes, chemical treatments you name it. The issue kept coming back. The problem was that nothing was dealing with the eggs. I have done a few rounds of treatment with the wasps and honestly stopped seeing holes appear in clothes after the first round. I would recommend these to anyone dealing with a clothes moth issue!

Having been troubled by an increasing number of fruit flies this treatment fully eradicated them after about 4/5 days.

Very good works well

All my plants where dying rapidly from fungus gnats thousands of them in my soil every year with out fail I tried stones tightly packed to stop them getting in surface and de humidity machines and bloacke duo drainage holes after watering so they can’t crawl in the holes and nothing really stopped them since putting these in my soil I maybe see one flying round the room but soil is clear and plants are thriving

I followed all the instructions and managed to get them in a few weeks ago. As to how they are doing I can only hope. There is no way I shall know anything now until next spring when the chafer grubs start coming back up to the surface eating my lawn as they come up. Fingers crossed the nematodes have worked.

Very sticky and catching all the bugs I was hoping they would.

Did the job!

I bought these a few days after buying some of the 'swirskii mites' sachets. I was hoping the mites would storm out and I would be able to see them actively attacking the thrips - this didn't happen, and isn't supposed to happen. That's what 'orius-laevigatus' is for! As soon as I introduced these they quickly and purposefully moved around, searching - hunting. I don't think my infestation was especially large (though there were visible adults and larvae) - but the combination I mention here has left me unable to find a thrips even when I try and search them out, 2 days after applying the 'orius-laevigatus' which was 6 days after applying the 'Amblyseius swirskii'. You can't argue with the science, these bugs eat thrips.

Bought these to fight a rather annoying thrips infestation. A review on here was very useful - the one who said they didn't see much activity at first, but after 48 hours plenty of activity. Exactly the same experience here. Give them a chance, there are plenty of mites in there. Now, 5 days later I keep discovering them on stems and leaves, clearly searching out the earliest stages of thrip life. I probably should have bought some loose mites as well - but I tried the cheaper route, and combined with some 'Orius laevigatus' I've also now purchased it looks very positive. You can't argue with science!

It was very interesting to see the A. swirskii coming out the sachets and "colonising" the plants. They are really effective!

It looks like those pesky little black flies have gone, fingers crossed. Easy to use product and effective

It seems to have made a much better cleaner, clearer space.
