Silmite is organosilicone for the control of phytophagus mites on roses.

Silmite works through penetration of Spidermites tracheae, resulting in mortality of Spidermites as a result of suffocation.

Silmite also works through the disruption of the lipoprotein matrix of intercellular membranes and by the action the change in hydro-phobic lining of the spiracles and trachea leading to flooding of the tracheal system and subsequent drowning of the insect
