Pests, Diseases & DisordersWhy might released predatory mites disappear after mango spider mites become scarce?
Predators may disperse after consuming the available prey, and persistence varies among species and food sources. Continue monitoring instead of assuming the original release protects the collection indefinitely. If pests return, review predator identity, remaining food, and environmental suitability with the supplier. A successful earlier reduction does not establish that the same predator population is still present months later.
