Aphid Control
Using beneficial insects like predatory mites is an effective and natural way to control aphids in your garden.
Mite predators are important in integrated management of mites, specifically in complex crop systems where the demand for organic & pesticide-free crops is rising.
Ladybug larvae will eat about 400 medium-sized aphids before pupating. An adult ladybug feeds on about 300 medium-sized aphids before laying eggs. It eats 3-4 aphids for each egg it lays. Approximately 5,000 aphids during the adult's lifetime.
Adults are tiny fly-like midges, active only at night. They search out Aphid colonies by scent. Once a colony is located, they lay their eggs beside it. The small orange larvae hatch in 2- 3 days & feed on aphids, killing more than they can consume.
