Ideal for greenhouses and heated environments above 16Β°C, these natural predators actively seek and consume all life stages of mealybugs. With a lifespan of around 25 days and the ability to reproduce, they provide sustained, chemical-free pest control for large infestations on succulents, cactus, and other plants. ## Description Product description Cryptolaemus montrouzieri adults were one of the first biological controls used by professionals for the control of citrus mealybug. These ladybirds are excellent killers of mealybugs in greenhouses, conservatories or heated areas. Native to Australia these little predators are highly regarded throughout the world for effective natural control of mealybugs on cactus, succulents and many other greenhouse plants. Use these predators when infestations are large or when mealybugs are found in colonies. Dragonfli expert Julian Ives advises applying Cryptolaemus adults at the following rate; Light infestation - 5 adults per square metre Heavy infestation – 10 adults per square metre Repeat applications may be required on heavy infestations, add more adults every 2 weeks until populations of Cryptolaemus can be observed on the plant. Around 2-3 weeks after application, given adequate levels of prey, Cryptolaemus larvae should be observed on the plants too. Legal Disclaimer Cryptolaemus is a living creature and can be affected by any chemical pesticides used within the previous few weeks. As a guide cease using pyrethrum or SB plant invigorator 2 days prior to use and other persistent chemicals or universal bug killers 1-2 weeks before using Cryptolaemus.
