The cyclamen mite, Steneotarsonemus pallidus  (Banks) was found for the first time, affecting several strawberry plantations located in Departamento de Antioquia, Colombia, during 1977. A trial to control the mite was carried out using the following pesticides: Calcium polisulfide 5%; diazinon 0,06%; dicofol 0,04%; endosulfan  0,11 %; fenitrothion 0,1 % and tetradifon  0,06%.  The best treatment was endosulfan  0,11 %. Dicofol  0,04%  also affected good control. All other treatments were  not very effective in  controlling  this pest. Steneotarsonemus pallidus (Banks) failed to be established on two varieties of chrysanthemum,  under greenhouse  conditions.
