Dalotia coriaria - Rove Beetle

Dalotia coriaria (Greenhouse Rove Beetle) is the "heavy artillery" of biological control. Unlike predatory mites that are confined to the soil surface, Rove Beetles are aggressive, winged hunters that can fly throughout your grow space to locate pest hotspots. These generalist predators are voracious eaters, consuming 10–20 prey items per day. They are essential for larger indoor gardens, greenhouses, and large bioactive enclosures where you need a predator that can patrol the entire area—from the soil level up to the base of the stems.

• Scientific Name: Dalotia coriaria (formerly Atheta coriaria)

• Best For: Aggressive control of Fungus Gnats, Shore Flies, and Root Aphids in larger spaces.
