Together, they attack aphids in two different ways, ensuring rapid and broad control of many species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe product is supplied as a mixture of approx. 225 midges and 75 parasitic wasps, mixed in granules. This combination provides both a quick “here and now” effect and ongoing control, as the beneficial insects multiply as they find new aphids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the beneficial insects work:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🪰 \u003cstrong\u003eAphid midge\u003c\/strong\u003e – The adult midges lay eggs in aphid colonies. Once the larvae hatch, they immediately start hunting. Each larva can kill and drain a large number of aphids before pupating in the soil. After approx. 14 days, new midges hatch to continue the control.\u003cbr\u003e🐝 \u003cstrong\u003eParasitic wasps\u003c\/strong\u003e – The parasitic wasps lay eggs inside the aphids. After a few days, the aphid dies and swells into a brown cocoon. After about two weeks, a new parasitic wasp hatches and continues the hunt for aphids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits of aphid midge and parasitic wasps:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eEffective against many species of aphids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCombination of rapid and long-lasting effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e100% natural and non-toxic solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for greenhouses, houseplants, and garden beds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOpen the box near the plants where there is an infestation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePlace the box in the shade under the plants – e.g., on an overturned flowerpot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe beneficial insects will fly out on their own and begin control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAlternatively, the contents can be distributed in \u003cstrong\u003ebio-boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e, which are hung in the plants.

These small, soft-bodied insects often cluster in colonies on new shoots, young leaves, flower buds, and the undersides of leaves, where they suck plant sap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the first signs of aphids is often curled, rolled, or deformed leaves and new shoots. With larger infestations, the plant's growth may be stunted, and flower buds and new shoots may develop poorly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAphids also secrete a sugary liquid called honeydew. Therefore, leaves and stems may feel unusually sticky. Over time, a dark coating of sooty mold may grow on the honeydew. Many ants on a plant can also be a sign of aphids, as ants are attracted to the honeydew and often actively protect aphid colonies from their natural enemies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAphids can be green, black, brown, reddish, or almost white depending on the species and developmental stage. Most are only a few millimeters long. If you see small groups of soft-bodied insects gathered closely around the plant's fresh growth, there is good reason to examine the plant more closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTypical signs of aphids are:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eColonies of small aphids on new shoots and the underside of leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCurled, deformed, or rolled leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWeakened or deformed new shoots and flower buds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSticky leaves and stems due to honeydew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBlack sooty mold on leaves with significant honeydew\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMany ants moving up and down the plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earlier an aphid infestation is detected, the easier it is to control with beneficial insects.
