I would not say very long.
As I remember they come shipped with an ice pack and the instructions say to release them immediately. Due to its high reproduction rate, P. persimilis can exhaust its food supply and die out.

I would check out Arbico organics for more info.
I have ordered and used Phytoseiulus persimilis -Mite Predator and Phytoseiulus persimilis PLUS Sachets.
The Sachets were much easier to use as you just slap one or more on a plant.
The Phytoseiulus persimilis -Mite Predator came in a bottle and was kind of difficult (More like impossible) to spread around all of the plants in the garden. If you only have a few plants the bottle should be fine. Just my .02...

You can also contact Arbico by phone or email.
The beneficial insects and natural insecticides listed below will help eliminate mite infestations in your grow. If you have specific questions or concerns about your crop, please call us for a free consultation at 1-800-827-2847. You can also email us at Dr. Buglady if that is easier for you.

I had some creatures that were unknown to me so I shot Arbico a pic via email and they called me and advised a plan to get rid of them.
They even sent follow up email to make sure their product worked out ...
Customer service was spectacular... A+

Btw if it’s any help to anyone the bottled ones ; lightly spay the leaves with water & it makes them easier to stick & dim the lights all the way down to 20% or as low as you can.

Do this as soon as the lights come on so to allow the water to dry before lights out & remember to turn them back up

Good luck to you all & hopefully you’ll never have to use any. Happy growing
