Predatory mites against fungus gnat larvae & red bird mites – targeted & natural
GREEN GUARDIA predatory mites are effective biological antagonists for controlling fungus gnat larvae in substrates and reducing red poultry mites in stables . These active, beneficial organisms work purely biologically – without any chemicals, residues, or risks to humans or animals.
Our predatory mites are supplied exclusively as scattered products and can be specifically applied to potting soil, plant substrates or stable areas – for a direct and rapid effect against soil-dwelling and nesting pests.
Areas of application for predatory mite litter
- Houseplants & seedlings: Protects against fungus gnat larvae in pots.
- Greenhouse & balcony boxes: Biological soil protection for sensitive crops.
- Stables & chicken coops: Naturally against red bird mites in nesting material and gaps.
- Compost areas & substrate storage: Prevents the development of larvae and mite populations.
Application & Tips
- Scattering variant: Sprinkle the contents of the package directly onto the substrate or nesting material – do not work it in.
- Temperature: Predatory mites are particularly active at temperatures above 18 °C.
- Humidity: A slightly moist environment promotes the mobility and development of beneficial organisms.
- Avoid pesticides: Do not use chemicals before, during, or after application – they harm predatory mites.
- Storage: Apply directly if possible. Short-term storage at 8–12 °C (max. 1–2 days).
🌿 Conclusion: GREEN GUARDIA predatory mite litter is the natural and effective solution against fungus gnat larvae in pots and red bird mites in stables – safe, chemical-free and sustainably effective.
Raubmilben gegen Trauermücken & Rote Vogelmilben – natürlich & effektiv
Die GREEN GUARDIA Raubmilben sind eine 100 % biologische Lösung zur gezielten Bekämpfung von Trauermückenlarven im Substrat und Roter Vogelmilbe in Tierställen – ganz ohne Chemie oder Rückstände. Ideal geeignet für Haus, Gewächshaus, Garten sowie Geflügelhaltung.
Einfache Anwendung
- Streuvariante: Den Beutelinhalt direkt auf befallene Erde, Pflanzenbereiche oder in Ecken, Ritzen und Sitzstangen in Ställen streuen. Die Raubmilben suchen selbstständig nach Schädlingen und beginnen unmittelbar mit der Bekämpfung.
Dosierungsempfehlung
- Bei akutem Befall: 1 Einheit pro 10 m² Fläche oder pro Tierplatz (z. B. Hühnerstall).
- Zur Vorbeugung: 1 Einheit für bis zu 20 m² oder zwei Tierplätze.
Anwendungstipps für maximale Wirksamkeit
- Frühzeitig ausbringen: Bereits bei ersten Anzeichen von Befall reagieren.
- Bei starkem Schädlingsdruck: Anwendung nach 1–2 Wochen wiederholen.
- Feuchtigkeit erhalten: Besonders bei Trauermücken sollten Erde oder Substrat leicht feucht sein.
- Stallbereiche gründlich streuen: Auch Nester, Ritzen und Sitzflächen nicht vergessen.
- Temperatur beachten: Beste Wirkung ab 16 °C Umgebungstemperatur.
⚠️ Wichtig: Verwende mindestens 6 Wochen vor und nach dem Einsatz keine chemischen Insektizide – diese können die Wirkung der Raubmilben beeinträchtigen oder sie abtöten.
Was sind Trauermücken und Rote Vogelmilben?
Trauermücken und Rote Vogelmilben gehören zu den besonders lästigen Schädlingen in Haus, Garten und Tierhaltung.
Trauermücken sind kleine schwarze Fliegen, die sich bevorzugt in feuchter Blumenerde aufhalten. Ihre Larven fressen an zarten Pflanzenwurzeln, was zu Wachstumsstörungen, gelben Blättern und Wurzelfäule führen kann – besonders problematisch bei Jungpflanzen.
Rote Vogelmilben (Dermanyssus gallinae) sind winzige blutsaugende Parasiten, die hauptsächlich bei Geflügel auftreten. Sie verstecken sich tagsüber in Spalten und Ritzen und befallen nachts die Tiere. Ein starker Befall kann zu Unruhe, Federverlust, Blutarmut oder sogar zum Tod führen.
Wie kann ich Trauermücken & Vogelmilben natürlich bekämpfen?
Zur biologischen Bekämpfung von Trauermückenlarven eignen sich besonders Nematoden (Steinernema feltiae), die gezielt die Larven im Boden abtöten – ohne Nebenwirkungen für Menschen, Tiere oder Pflanzen.
Gegen Rote Vogelmilben sind Raubmilben wie Hypoaspis miles oder Androlaelaps casalis effektiv. Diese Nützlinge jagen die Milben in ihren Verstecken und sorgen für eine natürliche Regulation – ideal in Hühnerställen oder Volieren.
🌿 Tipp: Verwende Nematoden bei Trauermücken möglichst früh nach dem Umtopfen. Bei Vogelmilben empfiehlt sich der Einsatz der Raubmilben regelmäßig nach der Stallreinigung.
Wie kann ich einem Befall vorbeugen?
- Trauermücken: Erde nicht dauerhaft feucht halten – Staunässe vermeiden.
- Gelbtafeln einsetzen: Ideal zur Überwachung von Trauermückenbefall im Indoorbereich.
- Rote Vogelmilben: Stall regelmäßig reinigen & Desinfektionsroutinen einhalten.
- Verstecke minimieren: Ritzen, Spalten und Einstreumaterial regelmäßig kontrollieren.
- Nützlinge präventiv einsetzen: So entsteht gar nicht erst eine kritische Population.
⚠️ Wichtig: Verwende keine chemischen Mittel parallel zur Ausbringung biologischer Nützlinge – sie können deren Wirkung aufheben oder sie abtöten.

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 fungus gnats and red mites. They actively hunt their prey and help regulate pest populations naturally—without the use of chemicals.
The predatory mite Hypoaspis miles has proven effective against fungus gnat larvae in the soil, specifically combating pests living in the substrate. For red fowl mite infestations, however, the specialized predatory mite Androlaelaps casalis is used, especially in poultry houses or aviaries.
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.
