Description +

Cryptolaemus montrouzieri are predatory ladybirds used for biological control of mealybugs. Both adults and larvae actively feed on mealybugs, making them particularly useful for established infestations on indoor and greenhouse plants. Release directly onto infested plants in warm conditions.

How to Use +
Release directly onto plants where mealybugs are present. Open the container close to the infestation and allow the predators to move naturally onto the foliage. Apply in the evening where possible and close nearby windows or vents temporarily to reduce dispersal.
