Ramos M, Rodríguez H (2006) Riqueza de especies de ácaros fitoseídos (Acari: Mesostigmata) en agroecosistemas de Cuba. Fitosanidad 10(3):203–207 The mite 0.04mm long is pinkish red to pale white color with six legs. Males are smaller than females. The larvae are translucent. Females lay 2-4 eggs a day. Eggs take 1.5–4 days to hatch depending on temperatures. The adult female mites have the strongest ability to endure starvation, with an average survival time of about 8.16 days on just water while maintaining the ability to lay eggs, although in fewer quantities.

Simply hang the sachets on the plant. There is already a hole in the sachet for the predators to exit from, so the sachets do not need opening.

Annu Rev Entomol 42:291–321. https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev.ento.42.1.291 Yes we would recommend using our Distribution Boxes when applying bottles of loose curative treatments for Spider Mite control. Simply pour the contents into your boxes and hang them from your plants around the infestation hotspots. The predators will gradually emerge themselves from the boxes to combat the pests.

CABI International, Wallingford, pp 176–193 It’s good to hear that you are looking after the humidity for the Phytoseiulus which should optimally be at 75%. The temperature requirements should also be between 15 to 28 degrees Celsius.
