Trichogramma Wasp

Prevent worm pests before plants become damaged with these moth egg parasites.

The Trichogramma are a group of minute wasps (smaller than a needle’s eye) that lay their eggs in pest moth eggs, where the wasp offspring develop, kill the pest larvae, and produce new wasps.

Preferred food:
The eggs of more than 200 pests, including borers, webworms, loopers, leafworms, fruitworms, cutworms, bollworms, and armyworms (except beet armyworms). The wasps lay their eggs in the pest eggs, killing them. The adult wasps emerge anywhere from 7 to 75 days, depending on temperature and moisture.

Attacks eggs of over 200 varieties of insects, almost all moth and butterfly eggs that hatch into worm pests. Should be used in 3 separate releases and 3 vials will do 500 square feet, or 10 vials per acre. The best time to release is at the first sign of moths and it will reduce the number of eggs which will reduce pest insects. Specify your preferred shipping date and it should be before hot weather in your area. Releases should be completed by mid June.
