Cropro Stealth Miticide and Insecticide moves quickly into leaves following application where it remains for several weeks and where it is taken up by sucking mites. It is important that thorough coverage is achieved so that the maximum amount of product can be deposited on the leaf surface for uptake and subsequent ingestion by sucking mites. Abamectin that is not absorbed by leaves is quickly degraded.

Stealth Miticide And Insecticide (Abamectin) showed the best result with two-spotted mites. Mites fully covered the leaves of the sloe and almond trees. I tried many miticide sprays, but they worked for two weeks maximum. After abamectin treatment the leaves became green and clean. Also delivery was very fast. Thanks Specialist Sales for the wonderful service.

Worked supremely well. First spray cleaned up spider and broad mite problems. Follow up maintenance spray one month later allowed a great crop to come in.

The only true solution for spidermites. I use it on my rare indoor plants and it works flawlessly. My only complaint is it was sent via fastway couriers which took 7 days to deliver to SA.

Hi Mario. Unsure why the Stealth Miticide is not helping with the Spider Mites on your roses as Stealth Abamectin is very toxic to Spider Mites. Abamectin (the active ingredient of Stealth) functions as a nerve toxin that must be ingested by mites. Once applied, the material must move into the leaf tissue, where it can then be picked up by feeding mites. We are also not sure of the other insecticides you have used on your roses, however, these are usually highly toxic to spider mite natural enemies, particularly thrips and predator mites. If the natural enemies are reduced the Spider Mite populations can increase making the task of controlling them more difficult.
