Mealybug Ladybird – Effective biological control for mealybugs - Free shipping

The mealybug ladybird, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, is a specialized predatory insect that controls all types of mealybugs. It is frequently used in biological control on citrus trees and ornamental plants. Adult individuals are approximately 4 mm long and brown-black in color.

Instructions for use

Place the container near the infested plant and open it carefully. For best results, you can place the included paper strips on leaves near the mealybugs or use a brush to gently distribute the ladybirds directly onto the plant. The adult ladybirds may be inclined to fly initially, but releasing them in the dark can reduce their flight activity. Another option is to cover the plant with a fine net to ensure the ladybirds stay in place.

Storage

Use the ladybirds as soon as possible after delivery. If storage is necessary, keep them in the dark at 15-20°C for a maximum of two days. Buy beneficial insects online!
