Mealy Bugs with their wax coating & ability to hide in the leaf joints & crevices of greenhouse plants can be hard to get the better of
- & our Mealy Bug Killer has had to enlist the help a ladybird from the other side of the world to successfully reduce the numbers of this prevalent greenhouse pest. Our Mealy Bug Killer contains 25 adult cryptolaemus montrouzieri ladybirds a native of Australia which enjoys nothing more than crunching its way through mealy bugs all summer long. The ladybird is most active at temperatures of 23-25ºC & when days are long & is particularly adept at clearing large infestations of mealy bug. When temperatures are cooler & daylight limited the ladybird larvae (available in tubes of 10 & 25) will tuck into the pests & are ideal for spot treatments on individual plants. Mealy Bug Killer is supplied with full application instructions.
